Manhole Monitoring and Detection using loT

Abstract

Public safety from manhole injuries is required in a country with a large population like India. Several injuries happen daily due to poorly covered manholes or even open manholes. These injuries are often entirely ignored or written off as a random occurrence. However, research has showed that with certain improvements in design such as the one which is developed in this research study; public safety and security can be improved by making manholes a lot safer. In the PMs Mandate of “Swachh Bharat”, manholes play an important part and the proposed model will make this important feature more secure for the citizens. The experimental outcomes show that the framework works steadily and information transmission is solid, which is useful to acknowledge insightful the board of a savvy city and make an amicable and safe shrewd city climate. The system's job is to continuously monitor the lid status of the manhole and ensure that it is closed using a magnetic reed switch mechanism that is specially designed for this purpose. Numerous methods have been proposed for the same purpose. However, the proposed model uses reed switches, which is considered as a novel element of the proposed system.
