Abstract

The incidence of fire in underground utility tunnel is lower than other fires, but the damage caused by fire can cause social loss due to social management paralysis as well as economic loss. Hereupon, this paper presents the results of an empirical test on the construction of the underground utility tunnel condition monitoring system using the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. For this reason, a verification test was conducted by connecting a inductive coupler 200 Mbps power line communication modem with insertion loss characteristics of $-6{\pm}2dB$ to the installed the leakage coaxial cable installed in the underground utility tunnel. As a result, We confirmed sending/receiving of IP cameras up to 500 m. Therefore, it is judged that it is possible to construct a condition monitoring system for underground utility tunnel by using the leakage coaxial cables installed in the underground utility tunnels without installing additional communication lines for data transmission.

지하공동구의 화재 발생 빈도는 다른 화재에 비하여 낮은 편이나 화재로 인한 피해는 경제적 손실 뿐만 아니라 사회운영 마비로 사회적 손실을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 지하공동구 내 설치된 누설 동축케이블을 이용하여 지하공동구의 상태감시시스템 구축에 대한 실증 시험 결과를 제시한다. 이를 위해 지하공동구에 설치된 누설 동축케이블에 삽입손실 특성이 $-6{\pm}2dB$인 유도성 커플러와 200 Mbps급 전력선 통신 모뎀을 연결하여 실증 시험한 결과, 500 m까지 IP 카메라의 송/수신을 확인하였다. 따라서 데이터 전송을 위한 통신선로의 추가 설치 없이도 지하공동구 내 설치된 누설 동축케이블을 이용하여 지하공동구에 상태감시시스템 구축이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
