Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current management systems for gas pipeline corridors face confusion in material storage and supervision, particularly in integrated urban pipeline systems, where emergency materials are not effectively planned or managed, leading to inefficiencies and safety risks.
Innovation Solution
An IoT system for smart gas supervision is introduced, comprising a smart gas company management platform, a gas equipment object platform, and a government gas supervision management platform, which collects and assesses operation, maintenance, and monitoring data to dynamically adjust storage locations and environmental parameters for improved emergency material management and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If emergency materials are stored in various regions of the pipeline corridor without centralized management, then material availability for emergency response is improved, but management confusion and supervision difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the pipeline corridor into multiple monitoring zones with distributed sensors and cameras, allowing emergency materials to be stored in various regions while each zone is independently managed and tracked through the centralized platform, reducing overall management complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback through sensors that monitor material storage status, environmental conditions, and pipeline corridor state, automatically transmitting data to the management platform for dynamic adjustment and optimization of material distribution
2Adaptability or versatility
If the pipeline corridor is integrated with other urban pipelines (electric power, communication), then urban space utilization is improved, but management confusion and supervision difficulty are exacerbated
Solution Approach 1:
The management platform is designed as a universal system that can monitor and manage multiple types of pipelines (gas, electric power, communication) within the same corridor using a unified interface and standardized protocols, enabling multi-functional supervision without increasing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the supervision of different pipeline types into a single integrated management platform that consolidates data from various sources, allowing coordinated management of gas pipelines and other urban infrastructure in a unified corridor space
3Device complexity
If traditional manual management methods are used for emergency materials, then system simplicity is maintained, but material utilization efficiency and safety supervision deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-monitoring of emergency materials through embedded sensors that track storage conditions, quantity, and status without human intervention, with the management platform automatically analyzing data and triggering alerts or adjustments as needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual inspection and management of emergency materials with automated electronic monitoring through sensors, cameras, and data transmission networks, eliminating the need for physical checks while improving efficiency and accuracy

AI summary
Disclosed is a method and an Internet of Things (IoT) system for management and control of pipeline corridor emergency materials based on smart gas supervision. The IoT system comprises a smart gas company management platform, a gas equipment object platform, and a government gas supervision management platform. The smart gas company management platform is configured to: obtain at least one of operation and maintenance data, geographic information, and operation filing data of a pipeline corridor; obtain pipeline corridor monitoring data and gas monitoring data of the pipeline corridor through the gas equipment object platform; obtain population data and other pipeline data through the government gas supervision management platform; assess risk responsivities of different storage locations; determine adjustment information of the storage locations; and send the adjustment information to the government gas supervision management platform, and in response to determining that the government gas supervision management platform determines to perform adjustment of the storage locations, enable the smart gas company management platform to adjust, based on the adjustment information, parameters of an environmental adjustment device.
