Abstract:

A first-rate manhole management is a sign of good city. Manhole monitoring is an important element of municipal infrastructure as accidents due to broken and missing manhole lids are continual. Such accidents have the potential to cause severe injuries and even fatalities. Upon observation, it was noted that a significant number of manhole covers were not properly placed. Furthermore, inadequate monitoring of manholes is a common issue in developing nations. Poor governance and monitoring of the manholes is the fundamental cause of urban floods which are frequent in crowded cities. This problem can be overcome by using a Manhole Management Device based on IOT and Sensor Technology. Our plan is develop a IOT-based Manhole Monitoring device. Here, we have comprised an array of sensors for complete monitoring of the manhole’s lid so that such accidents can be averted. This device includes a gas sensor to monitor the gases present in manholes so, that toxicity levels can be handled easily, an ultrasonic sensor to detect the water level, when the water level goes beyond a certain level and a tilt sensor is used to alert whether if the manhole cover is tilted. If any of these values exceeds the set/threshold values then we send an SMS to an authority number by Wi-Fi module to store in the cloud
