Literature
Survey
This chapter focuses on the previous research work that has been done on manhole monitoring systems.
It is on the limitations of some of these previous works that this project foundation is built

on.

proximity sensor, DTH11 sensor, float drainage , concerns telecommunication networks, water water
level sensor, IR sensor , phase detection circuit, relays, solenoid valve, and pump. Sensors sense supply
networks, gas supply networks and information and give this information to the Raspberry Pi3 module
which processes on further and electricity networks. Although it is very crucial display output values
on LCD display. The acquired output from the controller is sent to the control to a city’s operations, the
manhole can be one room through the E – mail/SMS and also display on the personal computer. of the
least protected and most vulnerable assets

The system uses two float sensors for reliability and redundancy purposes and also includes solenoid
valves to act as actuators and control water flow. The heavily reliance on the Internet due to
unavailability of an offline mechanism is a concern. The study was centred mostly on water level and
neglected other parameters like gas.
Automated Internet of Things for Underground Drainage and Manhole Monitoring System cities consists
of the transmitter which is connected to sensors which sense all the parameters and convert it into
electrical quantity. The receiver collects the serial data from the serial port and displays it on the

monitor using terminal emulator program. • Manholes leading to underground supply

The system is wireless, has a long life time and low cost. An offline concerns telecommunication networks,
