This position paper introduces a novel wireless sensor and actor network (WSAN) framework for autonomous monitoring and maintenance of pipe and power line (oil, gas, water, electricity) infrastructures in an efficient and cost-effective manner. The main focus is on boosting the availability of lifeline infrastructures through advancements in the WSAN technology. First, we categorize and classify the existing lifeline monitoring systems. Second, we identify the requirements for effective and efficient monitoring and maintenance of lifeline infrastructures. Third, we propose a novel WSAN architecture that combines sensing with distributed decision-making and acting capabilities through advanced robotics. Two operational models for the proposed architecture are also presented. The first is a push-up model that employs low-cost, multi-functional sensors along the lifeline to observe certain phenomena of interest, e. g., leakage, ruptures, clogs, etc., in real time and reports to actors over wireless links. The actors process the received data, coordinate with each other in order to identify the most appropriate response. The second is a pull-down model that capitalizes the resources of elite nodes (i.e. actors) in the network. |
