Monitoring and Control of Urban Critical Infrastructures: A Novel Approach to System Design and Data Fusion
Mario La Manna
The monitoring and control of urban critical infrastructures
consists of the protection of assets such as houses, offices,
government and private buildings, with low cost, high
quality and high dependability. In order to satisfy all these
requirements at the same time, the control of a number of
assets has to be performed by means of automated systems
based on networks of heterogeneous sensors. This new
concept idea is based on the use of unmanned operations at
each of the many remote assets (each asset is monitored
through a network of sensors) and a man-in-the-loop
automated control in a central site (Operational Center),
which performs alarm detection and system management. Full Text
