Description
Summary:In various regions, the maintenance of manholes is imperative, given the potential consequences for public health and safety. Neglecting this responsibility can result in severe outcomes, including loss of lives and the spread of diseases within the community. To address these challenges, an advanced anomaly detection system is proposed, leveraging deep learning with Autoencoders. Notably, the entire system operates on solar power, aligning with a commitment to environmentally sustainable practices. At the core of the system's functionality is the Autoencoder, a deep learning model to differentiate complex manhole conditions. The Autoencoder is trained on normative sensor data, capturing nuanced patterns inherent in routine manhole states. This training enables the Autoencoder to perform real-time anomaly detection by swiftly identifying deviations such as the presence of noxious gases, irregular sewage levels, or unauthorized attempts at access. When anomalies are detected, signaling potential hazards, the Autoencoder triggers alert messages disseminated to municipal authorities via a cloud server. This proactive approach empowers timely intervention, particularly critical in scenarios involving toxic gases, ensuring the safeguarding of maintenance personnel. Additionally, the system integrates an NFC reader, streamlining authorized access for designated personnel while upholding robust security measures. In essence, the incorporation of Autoencoders into the system furnishes an intelligent anomaly detection infrastructure for manhole surveillance. By continually adapting to normative patterns, the Autoencoder enhances the system's capacity to identify and promptly communicate potential risks, thereby improving the overall safety and efficiency of manhole maintenance practices.
