  • Infrastructure monitoring system and method
    Patent number: 9934670
    Abstract: An infrastructure monitoring system includes: a first monitoring device configured to detect and monitor a first condition of a first aspect of the infrastructure and transmit a data signal including data relating to the first condition; a second monitoring device configured to detect and monitor a second condition of a second aspect of the infrastructure and transmit a data signal including data relating to the second condition; a third monitoring device configured to detect and monitor a third condition of a third aspect of the infrastructure and transmit a data signal including data relating to the third condition; and an operations center communicatively coupled to each monitoring device, the operations center configured to receive the data signal from each monitoring device and determine whether the data included in the data signal received from any one of the monitoring devices indicates a problem within the infrastructure.
