Abstract

Abstract—High costs of urban services, namely, waterworks, transportation, waste collection, wastewater collection and treatment, energy, and public lighting, require their optimization in management. This optimization can be mostly achieved using dedicated technology and strategy by “building” smart cities and smart grids. This paper illustrates findings related to the application of a designed distributed edge computing system for supervising a network of sensors, located on a special configuration of a pipeline, to detect leaks. The plant to be supervised is a zigzag waterworks with leaks to be simulated by opening and closing taps. The pressure variation is detected by magnetic sensors, which convert pressure variation into electric signal to be processed on-line thanks to an advanced and robust algorithm called a filter diagonalization method that performs a spectral analysis. In this paper, we have also developed a 2-D representation of the leak within the pipeline or waterworks, which is a robust way to see the dimensions or the expansion of the leak in a specific space.
