Abstract:The safety status of LNG tank vehicle is monitored in real time by using a particular decision-tree algorithm. The Data acquisition system for the algorithm consists of 8 heterogeneous sensors installed on the LNG tank vehicle, which includes a gas sensor, a temperature and a humidity sensor, a pressure sensor, a liquid level sensor, an accelerometer, an angle sensor, and a door-switch sensor. Some data sets of different running modes of the tank vehicle were used to training the decision-tree, and the others were used to evaluate the status of the vehicle. A simulation system was also established to experimentally verify the accuracy of the algorithm and the results of the experiments show that the monitoring system is good enough for practice usage. ? 2013 by IFSA.
