Description
Summary:This paper aims to demonstrate how water monitoring could be done with less human interaction through automation of a surface water vehicle and its corresponding system. For this thesis, a surface water vehicle has been modified and installed with a microcontroller, sensors, GPS module and compass. A system that is capable of moving on its own while processing data from the sensors, GPS module and compass and sending the data wirelessly to a base station via an Xbee module. The data that the base station has received will then be processed through the Visual Basic program which will then be uploaded to a website. The system also includes a floating device that serves as a partial simulation of a data gathering surface water vehicle and acts as a data packet router.
