Defects Inspection

It is of great importance for pipeline systems to be is efficient, cost-effective and safe during the transportation of the liquids and gases. However, underground pipelines often experience leaks due to corrosion, human destruction or theft, long-term Earth movement, natural disasters and so on. Leakage or explosion of the operating pipeline usually cause great economical loss, environmental pollution or even a threat to citizens, especially when these accidents occur in human-concentrated urban areas. Therefore, the surveying of the routed pipeline is of vital importance for the Pipeline Integrated Management (PIM). In this paper, a comprehensive review of the Micro-Inertial Measurement Unit (MIMU)-based intelligent Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) multi-sensor fusion technologies for the transport of liquids and gases purposed for small-diameter pipeline (D < 30 cm) surveying is demonstrated. Firstly, four types of typical small-diameter intelligent PIGs and their corresponding pipeline-defects inspection technologies and defects-positioning technologies are investigated according to the various pipeline defects inspection and localization principles. Secondly, the multi-sensor fused pipeline surveying technologies are classified into two main categories, the non-inertial-based and the MIMU-based intelligent PIG surveying technology. Moreover, five schematic diagrams of the MIMU fused intelligent PIG fusion technology is also surveyed and analyzed with details. Thirdly, the potential research directions and challenges of the popular intelligent PIG surveying techniques by multi-sensor fusion system are further presented with details. Finally, the review is comprehensively concluded and demonstrated.

Objective: Systematize methodologies that harmonize  integrated and smart tourist destinations management with geographic information, for making timely and accurate decisions, contributing to quality in the context of the cantonal tourist territories of the province, Manabí - Ecuador. Methodology / approach: The paradigms of the management of tourist destinations that reconcile all the participants, policies, components and parts of the system; expressed in an integrated management. The use of information and communication technologies is geared towards smart management, that envolve tourists, communities and managers. Everything in tourism is tied to space and territory, the information systems used require a response to the “where” through analysis and representation tools of places. Originality / Relevance: The sequence of steps of various methodologies and of the systematized theory, focus the integrated and smart tourim destination management, in the transit from the parts to the whole. In practice, it implies the voluntary participation of businessmen, interested in the homogeneous improvement of tourist quality in the territory. Main results: A theoretical model of the concepts that make up the understanding of the integrated and smart tourism destination management  and territories for the improvement of quality. A reconfigured methodology from others, for putting the theoretical model into practice. Theoretical / methodological contributions: Guidance for decision-making in tourist territories and understanding by entrepreneurs and managers, to reverse the particular improvement of their businesses, in the homogeneous improvement of the tourist quality of the territories and tourist destinations of the Manabí province.

General Adoption

The integration of water processes with information and communication technologies systems offers huge opportunities in terms of efficiency gains, improved security, and overall sustainability. However, as this new field of water management – often denoted as ‘Smart Water Network’ (SWN) – is evolving, there are many different vendors, technologies and business models in the market. This diversity overwhelms utilities and leads to excessive piloting of smart solutions, rather than to a general adoption. In order to exploit the full potential of these SWN solutions, standardized components guaranteeing interoperability and clearly defined interfaces as well as proper guidelines for implementing such solutions are needed. We will give a general overview of a SWN, the involved technological components, its interactions, and missing elements that are needed for an interoperable solution. We finish our contribution with a brief description of a structured process for planning SWN architectures.
