SkyLab has placed LoRaWAN water level sensors in and around the railway-route of the De Betuweroute near Zevenaar on behalf of ProRail.
Specifically, in this area, a lot of rain can cause the groundwater level under and around the track to become high, which can cause undesirable situations. To get a good insight of the water levels, SkyLab has placed a large number of LoRaWAN-monitoring-well-sensors in this route. The underground monitoring wells are located in surface pots and measure the water level, water pressure several times an hour. The measured values are sent encrypted via our LoRaWAN network to the dashboard. In the IoT dashboard, the live and historical data is visible and a notification is sent immediately. To be consistently able to receive the sensor data on kilometres, SkyLab, together with VolkerWessels, has placed LoRaWAN gateways in the GSM-R masts along the track. These gateways can receive sensor data from sensors tens of kilometres away. The gateways can be used for a wide range of sensor applications - by anyone without network costs. In this way, ProRail, together with SkyLab.
