    Abstract: A system for detecting leaks within a pipe network is provided. The system includes mobile sensors that can be non-permanently attached to a pipe in the pipe network. The system further includes mobile devices. The mobile sensors can send sensor measurements to the mobile devices, and the mobile devices can send sensor measurements across a communications network to an application server. The application server is configured to process the sensor measurements in order to estimate a location of a leak in the pipe network. The system further includes a time source component, with the mobile devices communicating with the time source component in order to synchronize a sensor measurement recording time of the mobile sensors.

    Abstract: A method for detecting leaks in a pipe in a system including a processor and at least one sensor installed on the pipe, may include generating, by the processor, a plurality of signals based on measurements from the at least one sensor. The method may include calculating, by the processor, at least two cross correlations from the plurality of signals. Each cross correlation may correspond to two of the plurality of signals. The method may include calculating, by the processor, a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of each of the at least two cross correlations. The method may include selecting, by the processor, a cross correlation that has a greatest SNR among the at least two cross correlations. The method may include detecting a leak in the pipe based on the selected cross correlation.

    Abstract: A system for pipe network failure classification, may include one or more sensors, a pipe network parts database, and at least one processor communicatively networked to the one or more sensors and the pipe network parts database. The at least one processor is configured to intermittently receive sensor collected parameters from the one or more sensors, reference, upon receipt of an indication of a failure of a pipe in the pipe network, records of the pipe network parts database and retrieve one or more feature parameter values associated with the failed pipe's operational or environmental conditions, and classify the pipe failure into one of two or more failure categories associated with different failure causes, based on values of parameters associated with the failed pipe that are received from at least one of the one or more sensors or the pipe network parts database.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring pressure transients and pipe bursts in a pipeline network are provided. The system can include a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in a pipe and generating a pressure signal, and a hydrophone for detecting a change of the pressure and generating a hydrophone signal. The system can include a high pass filter that can filter a portion of the hydrophone signal corresponding to a particular frequency. The system can include a comparator that generates an interrupt signal when the hydrophone signal satisfies a threshold value. The system can include a microcontroller which stays in a sleep mode until receiving the interrupt signal. The microcontroller can switch on the pressure sensor to record the pressure signal generated by the pressure sensor after being woken up.
