CONTINUATION OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SMART BUOY SYSTEM FOR REAL TIME DATA COLLECTION IN AGBARHO RIVER.
Abstract
This project presents the installation and integration of smart components on a
pre-constructed buoy hull for real-time marine environmental monitoring. The smart buoy
system combines advanced sensor technologies, wireless communication modules, and an
autonomous power supply to measure key marine parameters, including wave height, water
currents, wind speed, temperature, and weather conditions. The integration process involves
configuring sensors, establishing reliable data transmission channels, and implementing an
embedded control system for data acquisition and processing. The buoy is powered by solar
energy, ensuring continuous and sustainable operation in harsh marine environments. Testing
and calibration procedures are conducted to ensure accuracy, reliability, and optimal
performance of the integrated system. The completed smart buoy offers a cost-effective and
dependable solution for maritime navigation, environmental monitoring, and oceanographic
research, enabling timely data collection and informed decision-making in marine operations.
