FEECS experts monitor air during metro construction

FEECS experts monitor air during metro construction
A team of experts from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of VŠB-TUO was involved in the construction project of the new D line of the Prague metro, where they helped with the measurement of hazardous gases during tunneling.

On the basis of long-term cooperation with major geotechnical companies, FEECS experts were involved in monitoring important parameters in the air during the construction of the D metro line near Pankrác. "We designed and commissioned a modern wireless system that measures the concentrations of hazardous substances such as xylene and petrol fumes. The system, using advanced IoT (Internet of Things) technology, was able to reliably monitor the state of the air at six different locations over a period of six months," explains team leader Radovan Hájovský.

The infrastructure of the monitoring system was built using a robust MESH topology. The data was accessible online to the responsible personnel, who were able to check the measured values and quickly take safety measures in the event of elevated concentrations. "This project demonstrates how modern technology contributes to protecting the health of people on construction sites. We will continue our successful cooperation," added Hájovský, whose team includes colleagues from the Department of Cybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, Martin Pieš and Jan Velička.
