Research on an Intelligent Monitoring Device for Cable Manhole Covers

With the acceleration of the urbanization process, the public sector construction of municipal departments has also developed rapidly. Most of the cables in power and communication departments are buried into the ground. While due to the lack of effective real-time monitoring and management tools for the maintenance of manhole covers, criminals are given the opportunity to steal covers and cables. Once the manhole covers lost, it will bring safety problems to pedestrians and vehicles, thus this paper proposed an intelligent monitoring device for cable manhole covers. The device uses six axis sensors to monitor the attitude of the cable well covers. Once the attitude changes, it is sent to the supervisors' mobile phones through wireless network. The actual use verifies that the monitoring device has advantages of easy installation and simple maintenance, and it can timely monitor whether the cable manhole cover is moved artificially, which is of great significance to improve the safety of road driving.
