Design of Wireless Monitoring System for Urban Pipeline Network Based on WSN and ZigBee

The urban pipeline wireless monitoring system is presented based on WSN technology and GPRS so as to solve the existing problem in the operation of urban pipeline network, Hardware and software design of wireless sensor node and coordinator is given. GPRS module serves as gateway interface between WSN and Internet. The collected field data which consist of pressure and flow rate of water, natural gas and heating water is finally transmitted to the control center through Internet. The main interface of control center is developed with configuration software which is famous for its direct viewing and Easy-to-use. The experimental results indicate that the control center can get real-time field data of pressure and flow rate at any time, sensor node collects data accurately, data is transmitted reliably via wireless sensor network. It has a wide field of application with good prospects.
