Developing the concept of multifunctional smart buoys

The Multifunctional Smart Buoy project deals with the development, validation, and demonstration of innovative smart marine buoy technology for long-term operation and persistent deployment in marine environments. ”Smart buoy” is used as a broader term in the context of this project and the goal is to explore the concept from three perspectives and through three distinct configurations. The buoy concept explores wind and solar energy harvesting methods, anchoring solutions, and a variety of communication methods, including a LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) connection for long-range connectivity in the desired Internet of Things/smart city context. The buoy operates as a remote marine platform performing water quality measurements, as well as a relay for an extended underwater sensor network. Algorithms based on the buoy’s inertial measurements can be used to estimate and report on wave height and sea state, and image processing algorithms can be used to implement video monitoring and potential intrusion detection using the buoy’s camera.
