E-smart pipeline: defect prediction using microwave sensing and communication

当谈到石油运输时，加拿大的环境安全是头等大事。加拿大的自然资源包括世界上最大的油藏之一，主要通过管道运输。由于对我们环境的担忧，加拿大和美国最近的管道项目吸引了很多关注。这里提出的项目，通过致力于开发E-智能管道和创建无缺陷系统来解决这一问题。我们以一种独特的方式处理这个问题，通过主动行动在缺陷发生之前对其进行预测。在这个项目中，我们将利用最近在无线技术领域创造的大量知识，并将其应用于我们的能源和环境部门。这些信息为在缺陷发生前进行智能预防和开发无缺陷管道提供了机会。该项目在加拿大的三个战略部门环境、信息和通信技术以及能源之间产生了协同效应。此外，该项目还将为培养拥有先进高科技系统的高素质人才提供机会，使学生为投身行业做好准备。这项工作的结果将保护我们的环境并优化加拿大自然资源的利用。**

Canada's environmental safety is the number one priority, when it comes to oil transportation. Canada's Natural resources include one of the largest oil reservoirs that are transported mainly using pipelines, across the world. Recent pipeline projects in Canada and US have attracted lots of attention because of the concerns for our environment. The proposed project here, addresses this problem by working towards developing E-smart pipelines and creating defect free system. We approach this issue in a unique way by acting proactively to predict the defects before they happen. In this project, we will utilize the vast amount of knowledge that has been recently created in wireless technologies and apply that for the benefit of our energy and environmental sectors. Such information provides the opportunity of intelligently preventing the defects before happening and developing defect free pipeline. This project creates synergy between three of the Canada's strategic sectors of Environment, Information and Communication Technologies, and Energy. In addition, the project will provide opportunity for training highly qualified personnel that are trained with the advanced state of the art high-tech systems and making the the students ready to join industry. The outcome of this work will protect our environment and optimize usage of Canada's natural resources.**
