Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for monitoring the status of a radioactive isotope tracking apparatus (hereinafter referred to as a 'radiation source tracking apparatus' By tracking the movement and position of the moving source by using the acceleration sensor and gyro sensor, it compensates the disadvantages of the GPS position locating limit and unnecessary power consumption in the indoor and radiowave electronic environment of the source tracking device, And more particularly, to a system and method for monitoring the status of a radioactive isotope tracking device and a method for managing battery consumption, which simultaneously provide data of movement on a time basis and allow the tracking device to perform optimal power management on its own.
Radiation sources and radiological equipment in which radioactive materials are used are seriously threatened to the safety of the public if they are lost by carelessness by the administrator during transportation and transportation, or by persons who do not have knowledge of radiation sources and radiation devices. In addition, since the public damage caused by various accidents that may occur when transporting nuclear fuel rods or radioactive waste of a nuclear power plant is expected to be enormous, measures for radiation safety management such as checking the information such as usage and transportation status in real- need.
Therefore, radioactive materials related companies and related organizations confirm the actual use of radioactive sources dispersed throughout the country through real-time geographic information system (GIS) and manage the movement route and radiation dose to strengthen the level of radiation source security management, And a remote monitoring system of the radiation source for preventing loss or loss of the radiation source and providing position information for early detection in the event of an accident.
This remote surveillance system is a surveillance system that can monitor and control the source of radiation using WCDMA, GM radiation dosimeter and GPS function in the tracking device attached to the radiation source for remote monitoring of the moving radiation source. Accordingly, the tracking device transmits the position and state of the radiation source periodically moved to the control server. When the control server disconnects the periodic data transmission from the tracking device or if communication is not established, it determines that the state of the tracking device is not normal, The user can proceed to the next management step through a warning or the like.
In this case, since the use status of the radiation source moved from the control server can be monitored, it is possible to prevent the radiation source from being lost or stolen, as well as to prevent the occurrence of radiation emergency accidents and to enable quick response thereto have.
The location tracking function of the tracking device adopts a positioning using a GPS satellite signal or a cell positioning method using a base station. This has resulted in very high accuracy in positioning compared to existing position trackers. However, there is a problem that the position of the GPS positioning in the interior or underground of the building, the electric environment of the radio wave, and the industrial environment where the communication infrastructure is poor is weak. In addition, the radiation material enters the place where the radiation is shielded by the law of relativity.
In this case, the tracking device is disconnected from the mobile communication network. Nevertheless, the communication module of the tracking device consumes more power than usual to find the communication network for data transmission. In addition, there may be no long-term positional change due to reasons such as being in operation or being outside but not moving, for reasons such as storage. At this time, however, the tracking device continuously transmits the position information of the radiation source to the server. This means that the unchanging location information is continuously transmitted to the control server, which consumes power due to the redundant data transmission operation. These problems are a factor that hinders the essential role of the tracking device to transmit the location of the radiation source to the control server accurately for a long time in case of an accident. There is a need for an optimal power management technique that allows the tracking device to accurately track the position for longer periods of time under any circumstances.
