Construction of a System for Checking the Open/Close Status of River Gates

Abstract

In this paper, we constructed a system for confirming the open/close status of sluice gates by using inexpensive and low-power sensors that guarantee data accuracy within the allowable range. As a verification test, we constructed a system for monitoring the opening and closing of the sluice gate at the Uchikawa sluice gate in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture. As a result, we completed the construction of a sluice gate opening/closing status confirmation system that can be operated stably at a low cost and with low power consumption. This information can be confirmed on the web and can be viewed by Yamagata Prefecture disaster prevention officials.
