IoT-based Cable Fault Detector with GSM and GPS Module using Arduino

The use of underground pipelines is increasing due to various advantages such as reduced pipeline losses, reduced maintenance costs, and increased resistance to harsh weather conditions. The measurement of distance displayed on the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) varies whenever a system issue arises. There exists no subterranean cable which is greater than the previous approach because cables were meant to be positioned over the level of the head for a decade ago. Negative climate conditions, Storms, snow, torrential rains, and pollutants have no impact on under-ground lines, although it can be challenging to find a problem in an under-ground cable when it happens to a line. Underground cabling systems are more common in many urban areas. It is challenging to fix this specific cable even when the issue appears at that time because it is unclear where the cable failed because the problem is not clear. The work aims to solve this problem by proposing a suitable method for the digital age. This study has proposed a novel strategy based on Internet of Things (IOT) modules, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS). Arduino UNO, a module-based technique using the Google database is employed to identify faults. In this research work, the primary component is Arduino UNO. Through the router, this study has established a communication hotspot. Here, each MCU was connected to a transformer, and its status is checked by using the Google database. When compared to other procedures, the proposed method is more accurate and effective.
