Abstract
An instrumented structure is combined with real time environmental and weather information. The data from the structure is monitored via the Internet or another communications system. That information together with historical, analytical and the other relevant data in environmental events influencing the infrastructure are used to determine thresholds. When a threshold is passed the system automatically notifies a user who can then remotely access the real time events and measurements. The user can have real time relevant information to react to any emergency.
Claims18
A computer system to present to a user data about the condition of a hydrological structure comprising:
- a database for receiving and storing data about the structure;
- at least one data source for providing data about the structure;
- a communication network for transmitting the data about the structure from the data source to the database and for transmitting from the database to a user;
- a user interface for presenting to the user the data transmitted from the database.
