Abstract

Many utility lines are buried underground to provide various functions of the city. Because historical records are not managed systematically, damage has occurred during excavation. In addition, the demand for an underground facility management system is increasing as the aerial underground project is progressing. By attaching an electronic recognition sensor to an underground facility, such as pipelines, the management history and site conditions can be carefully managed. Therefore, in this study, electronic recognition sensors, such as BLE Beacon, UHF RFID, geomagnetic sensor, and commercial marker, were tested to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and field applicability through a pilot project. According to the limited research results collected through two pilot projects, the installation depth is most important to demonstrate the performance of the electronic reader. In addition, because it should be used in urban areas, the influence of environmental interference should be minimized, and there should be no performance degradation over time. In the case of the geomagnetic recognizer, the effect of environmental interference was large, and performance degradation occurred over time using the BLE Beacon. In the field situation, where the installation depth can be controlled to less than 40cm, the utility of the battery-free UHF RFID was the best.

도시의 다양한 기능을 제공하기 위해 다양한 유틸리티 라인들이 지중에 매설되어 있다. 하지만, 관련 이력이 체계적으로 관리되고 있지 않아 굴착 공사 시 파손과 같은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 또한, 공중선 지중화 사업이 진행됨에 따라 지중 매설물 이력 관리 시스템의 필요성이 더욱 제기되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) Beacon, UHF RFID(Ultra High Frequency Radio-Frequency Identification), 지자기 센서, 및 상용 마커와 같은 전자인식기를 관로 등의 지중 매설물에 설치하여 관리 이력과 현장 상황 관리 가능성에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 현장 시범사업을 통해 각 전자인식기의 장단점과 현장 적용성을 분석하였다. 두 차례의 제한적인 시범사업을 통해 수집한 연구 결과에 따르면 전자인식기의 성능을 발휘하기 위해서는 설치 깊이를 통제하는 것이 가장 중요했다. 또한 도심에서 활용해야 하는 만큼 주변 환경 간섭에 따른 영향이 최소화되어야 하고 시간에 따른 성능 저하가 없어야 한다. 지자기 인식기의 경우 주변 환경간섭의 영향이 컸고 BLE Beacon의 경우는 시간에 따른 성능저하가 발생하였다. 설치 깊이가 40cm 미만으로 통제될 수 있는 현장 상황에서는 배터리를 사용하지 않는 방식의 UHF RFID의 활용성이 가장 뛰어났다.
