Implementation of Wireless Mobile Sensor Based on Fuzzy Logic Control for Lpg Gas Pipeline Leakage Monitoring

The main purpose of the leakage detection system on a gas pipeline is to give a warning of the dangers related to a gas leak that could endanger human lives and cause material loss. There is a wide range of gas detection systems used to provide an early detection and warning in the event of a leak in a gas pipeline, one of which that is wired monitoring system. However, in its implementation, the wired-based monitoring system has many shortcomings. To overcome the disadvantages of the wired monitoring system, a wireless-based sensor network in detecting and monitoring gas pipelines is applied in this study by implementing mobile sensors as key components of the data collection. LPG mobile sensors used in this study are equipped with a pipe tracking algorithm based on fuzzy logic control algorithm, so they can easily track and monitor the installation of a gas pipeline. Fuzzy logic control achieves a success rate of 70%. The overall system testing results in the average error of 18.5%, indicating that the mobile wireless sensors can already detect leakage in LPG gas pipelines.
