Real-time LPG leakage monitoring system using iot and cloud technology

The explosive nature of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and the frequent fatalities related with its usage as a cooking fuel have raised safety issues in developing countries.Consequently, there is a rising emphasis on using Internet of Things technology to address these concerns.In this regard, this study proposes a real time IoT-cloud based leakage monitoring system to enhance safety.The system uses hybrid synergetic combination of Internet of Things and cloud technologies to improve real-time tracking of LPG information.In addition, Bylnk software is used for data analytics and visualization and is hosted in an embedded system NodeMCU.This platform enables remote monitoring of real time information on LPG variables such as gas leakage, temperature, humidity, as well as user access to graphical pictures and numerical data.To address the shortcomings of existing LPG leakage monitoring systems, the model includes novel features such as real-time SMS updates, instant phone calls, alarm notification, real-time visualization of gas leakage data, and dual cellular (3G/4G/5G) and wireless fidelity network connectivity.In terms of system cost, network connectivity, technology employed, model sensitivity, and gas leak detection range, the proposed system outperforms existing models.
