Development of intelligent systems for pipeline infrastructure reliability.
Public Abstract
Development of intelligent systems for pipeline infrastructure reliability. This co-funded project by the PHMSA and the MMS has the following objectives: (1) To develop a strain monitoring system using currently available fiber-optic sensing and communications systems in combination with data acquisition/management and decision-making systems; (2) To integrate a microbiologically influenced corrosion sensor, along with chemical sensors for pH and CO2, with the fiber-optic system; (3) To develop multifunctional monitoring tools using fiber optics; (4) To develop a system for full and effective utilization of the sensed data, for signal interpretation, and decision making.
