Iot Based Manhole Monitoring System

Abstract

In India, at least two die each day due to open manholes. If proper action is performed on time, then many lives could be saved. The objective of this paper is to make the system low-cost and effective. This system design consists of three sensors which are used to detect water level, gas level and tilt in the manhole cover. If the sensor values reach the threshold level, then that data is sent to the administrator through IFTTT which is ‘If This Then That’ platform. In this system IoT data is collected and analyzed on ThingSpeak. Thingspeak provides graphical representation of sensor data which helps to understand the error in sensor readings and analyzing the sensor data. Real time updating on the internet will help to check if there is any problem in the system data and thus avoiding any problems occurred due to it.
