Description
(関連出願の相互参照)
本願は、2008年10月27日に提出された米国仮出願第61/108770号「給水インフラ監視システムおよび方法」と2009年5月22日に提出された米国仮出願第61/180600号「給水インフラ監視システムおよび方法」とに優先権を主張し、両出願を参照によって全体をここに組み込む。
号化される。好ましくはシステムへのアクセスは、ユーザの名前とパスワードを通じて許可されるが、追加のおよび/または代替の暗号化方法を採用することもできる。
再送信するか、あるいはルートを変更することができる。
ができる。上記実施形態では、オペレーションセンタ105は、クラウドコンピューティング(たとえば、遠隔ホストされたコンピュータ、サーバ、およびデータ記憶装置のネットワーク)を利用することができる。非遠隔ホストされたコンピュータネットワークと比較して、クラウドコンピューティングは使い易さを増し、アクセスとセキュリティを向上させ、コストを低減し、特別にカスタマイズされ、無制限の記憶空間を提供することができる。さらに好適な実施形態では、複数のオペレーションセンタ105が存在する。1つ以上のオペレーションセンタが様々な事業体に配置され、各制御センタは、システム100の様々な状況を監視することができる。たとえば或る監視装置が水の使用量を監視し、且つ別の監視装置がガス漏れを監視する実施形態では、水使用量の状況は水道会社によって監視され、ガス漏れはガス会社および/または消防署によって監視され得る。好適な実施形態では、重複するオペレーションセンタ105が存在し、少なくとも2つのオペレーションセンタ105は、システム100の同じ状況を監視する。オペレーションセンタ105は、好適な実施形態では、装置110および111のファームウェアを更新する送信を行うことができる。
いて使用することができる。たとえばセンサ/プロセッサ通信がRFプロトコルを使用する一方、プロセッサ/制御センタ通信は、有線ネットワーク上で行われることができる。
L=(D−(V x T))/2
上記の式によると、水中の標準的な音速は約1500m/sであり、鉄製パイプを通る標準的な音速は5100m/sである。この速度は、実験的に測定可能である。たとえば、漏れが2つの検知器間のちょうど中間にある場合、音声は、両検知器に同時に到達することになる。各検知器は、連続的に、または所定期間毎に監視することができる。漏れ検知器は、漏れ検知器が事象を検知する際にプロセッサ205にメッセージを送信することができる。その後、プロセッサ205は、漏れが存在するか否か、および漏れがどの程度重大であるか判定するために事象を評価することができる、あるいは評価のためにオペレーションセンタにメッセージを中継することができる。漏れ事象の検出時、プロセッサ205およびオペレーションセンタの少なくとも一方は、漏れが注意を喚起するほど重大であると判定された場合に、漏れが存在するという警告を生成することができる。
ル効果センサ、流れる流体によって引き起こされる伝熱を測定する装置、または流体流を測定する当該技術において既知である任意のその他の装置であってもよい。センサは、流の異常を検知すると、プロセッサ205にメッセージを送信することができる。その後、プロセッサ205は、事象を評価することによって、異常が問題であるか否か判定することができる、あるいは評価のためにオペレーションセンタにメッセージを中継することができる。異常の検知時、プロセッサ205およびオペレーションセンタの少なくとも一方は、異常が存在するという警告を生成することができる。
他の汚染物質のいずれかのうちの1つ以上を監視することができる。複数の監視装置が存在する実施形態では、すべての装置が同一の状況を監視する、あるいは各装置が異なる状況を監視する、またはそれらの組み合わせが可能である。好適な実施形態では、大気質モニタは連続的に大気を検査するが、好適な実施形態では、大気質モニタは空気を所定の時間間隔で(たとえば、1時間に1回、1日に1回、1週間に1回など)検査する。各大気質モニタは、データをプロセッサ205に中継する。プロセッサ205は、データをデータベース230に記憶する、あるいはデータをオペレーションセンタに送信することができる。プロセッサ205またはオペレーションセンタのいずれか一方は、大気質モニタから受信するデータを監視して、汚染レベルの変化があるか否か、あるいは汚染レベルが閾値レベルを超えたか否か判定することができる。危険な汚染レベルの検知時、プロセッサ205およびオペレーションセンタの少なくとも一方は、大気中に汚染物質があるという警告を生成することができる。
サは、電磁技術、静電技術、赤外線技術、またはタッチスイッチを使用することができる。近接センサは、装置が適切に閉鎖されたか否か、あるいは装置が不適切に接触しているか否かを検知することができる。センサは、閾値を超える近接度を検知すると、プロセッサ205にメッセージを送信することができる。その後、プロセッサ205は、問題があるか否か判定するためにその近接度を評価することができる、あるいは評価のためにオペレーションセンタにメッセージを中継することができる。望ましくない近接度の検出時、プロセッサ205およびオペレーションセンタの少なくとも一方は、望ましくない近接度が存在するという警告を生成することができる。たとえばバルブが不適切に閉鎖されている場合、近接度センサはバルブが閉鎖されていないことを表示し、プロセッサ205はバルブを閉鎖する適切な手段を講じるように自治体に警告することができる。
ック、または改ざんを防止することのできる任意のその他の装置とすることができる。改ざん防止装置は、セキュリティレベルに応じて、単に改ざんを阻止する、あるいは、装置に改ざんをしようとする人の能力を奪うことができる。好適な実施形態では、改ざん防止装置は、プロセッサ305によって制御され、その他の実施形態では、改ざん防止装置はオペレーションセンタによって制御される。
本発明のシステムは、配水インフラを監視している。システムは、システム内の水圧を自動的に制御するために使用される。上記システムは、制御センタに使用情報をリアルタイムで中継する、インフラ全体で支払いの行われている多数の水道メータを含む。所定数の水道メータによって受信される情報に基づき、オペレーションセンタは、システムの使用量が低い(たとえば、夜間)と判定すると、システム内に圧力をかける送水を低減させる、あるいは送水を停止する。それによって、水のニーズを満たすだけのインフラ全体の十分な圧力を維持しつつ、送水によって使用される電力が節減される。送水を低減または停止するという判断を、インフラ全体で支払いの行われている圧力センサから受信する情報も元にすることができる。たとえば、インフラ内の圧力が閾値を超えると、オペレーションセンタは、送水を低減させる、あるいは送水を停止させる。
システムを同時に監視する。監視装置による煙の検知時、制御センタは、各事業体に火災の可能性を警告する。その火災の可能性がある位置は、監視装置のID番号と参照テーブルとの相互参照によって、あるいはGPS受信機から受信した情報に基づき判定される。消防署は、その位置情報を利用することによって、起こり得る火災の近傍に緊急対応者を派遣する。ガス会社は、その位置情報を利用することによって、起こり得る火災の近傍へのガス流を他へ迂回させる、あるいは切断する。水道会社は、その位置情報を利用することによって、起こり得る火災の近傍に向けて水をそらせ、あるいは起こり得る火災の近傍の水圧を上昇させて、消火栓に装着される監視装置から受信した情報に基づき、起こり得る火災の近傍の消火栓が損傷を負った可能性があるか否か(たとえば、異常な角度に傾いている、水圧を全くかほとんど受けていない、あるいは改ざんされている)を判定する。消火栓の位置は、監視装置のID番号と参照テーブルとの相互参照によって、あるいはGPS受信機から受信した情報に基づき判定される。水道会社は、どの消火栓を使用すべきか、消防署に自動的に警告する。さらに水道会社は、消火栓に対応づけられる改ざん防止装置を動作不能にする。電力会社は、追加の圧力が水道システム内で必要とされるという信号を受信し、水道ポンプへの電気的負荷を増加させる。さらに、交通制御センタは、消防署から起こり得る火災の近傍までの途上の信号機を調節して、消防車の迅速かつ安全な到着を助ける。
