Abstract

70 percent of Korea's territory is covered with mountains, whose difficult conditions can cause damage to facilities. Recently, the demand for facilities related to outdoor activities including monorails has been on the rise, and such facilities are much more likely to become damaged. For this reason, a monitoring system applying IoT to mountainous areas was developed and its applicability is evaluated in this study. The current status of the existing mountainous facilities and monitoring systems were reviewed, and the current wired monitoring technology was analyzed. A scenario for IoT-based monitoring was developed, and then sensor nodes were developed, which include an RF-communication module and interface, power-supply and solar-cell. A testbed was set up at K University. The same data was collected by the wireless system as had been collected by the wired one. The study findings are as follows. Firstly, by using the wireless system, it is estimated that the construction duration can be reduced by about 25 percent, while the construction costs can be reduced by about 3~52 percent. Secondly, the safety of the construction workers can be improved by making the working conditions less dangerous, such as by eliminating the need to transport cables.

국토의 70%가 산지인 우리나라는 산악지 거동으로 인한 시설물 피해가 많이 발생한다. 그런데 최근에 모노레일 등 산악활동을 위한 시설물에 대한 건설수요가 증가하면서, 시설물 피해 가능성이 점점 더 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 유선기반 산악지 모니터링 시스템을 개선하여, IoT기술이 적용된 산악지 실시간 모니터링시스템을 구축하고, 현장 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기존 산악지 시설물 현황과 모니터링 현황을 조사 분석하고, 기존 유선 모니터링 기술을 분석하였다. 둘째, IoT기반 모니터링을 위한 시나리오를 개발하고, 이에 적합한 RF통신모듈과 RF통신모듈 인터페이스, 전원부, 태양전지 등 센서노드를 개발하였다. 셋째, K대 현장에 테스트베드를 구축하고, 이에 대해서 현장적용성 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 초기 무선통신의 오류를 보완한 이후에는 유선시스템과 동일하게 데이터가 수집되는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 개발된 시스템을 활용하면, 약 25%(4시간)의 공기단축과 약 3~52%(8~119만원) 수준의 비용절감이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 다섯째, 피복케이블 운반과 같이 위험한 작업환경인 사면현장에서 수행해야 하는 작업들 중 일부를 제거함으로써, 작업원의 안전도를 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구의 한계로는, IoT환경에 최적화된 센서를 사용하지 못하였고, 센서노드의 수가 적다는 점을 들 수 있다.
