摘要: |
This report identifies and evaluates existing remote automatic monitoring and public information systems for both ice detection on bridges and flood monitoring at low-water crossings. The report encompasses all aspects of these systems, including hardware, software, communications systems, data processing, and meteorological services. This study provides a survey of various state agencies and their experiences with these systems. In addition, this report discusses three alternatives for statewide implementation of these systems. The alternatives examined are those considered by the Texas Department of Transportation, which include (1) the use of two turnkey systems throughout the state (one for ice detection and one for high-water detection); (2) multiple proprietary systems statewide (vendors could vary from district to district); and (3) a combination of components of various proprietary systems. The report concludes with suggestions for developing a set of implementation guidelines for a remote automatic monitoring and public information system for use during hazardous conditions. |
