Abstract

Tunnel is the basic construction project to construct underground, underwater, and mountain buildings, such as mines, subways, and so on. Effective monitoring of tunnel environment plays on important part in the tunnel management, it can provide early warning before the accidents and minimize the hazard of the accident. Compared with the traditional IoT technologies such as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and so on, the LoRa (Long Range) technology emerging in recent years performs better in terms of coverage range, connection number, and energy consumption, etc. It is foreseeable that the LoRa technology will certainly make a tremendous promotion in the field of tunnel environment monitoring. In this paper, A Lora-based tunnel environment monitoring system is designed and implemented. Firstly, the system architecture is described. Then, the detailed design and implementation of LoRa terminal hardware, LoRa terminal embedded software, LoRa server and monitoring App is given respectively. Finally, the experimental results show that the system has good network coverage capacity and communication reliability, can accurately monitor the tunnel environment and have low power consumption. This system has good promotion and application value.
