| Summary: | Unmanned vehicles may provide less time
consume and cost-effective methods of gathering hydrographic
survey data compared to traditional, manned survey vessels. A remote-controlled Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) was
outfitted with range finder, depth transducer, and velocity current
meter for the purpose of conducting a hydro survey. The purpose
of study to describes a project for the development of Unmanned
Survey Vessel (USV) platform useful for hydrological survey.
The control unit includes a motor control system, communication
equipment, and a simple radio control system installed to enables
an operator to remotely control the boat. The motor radio control
system, the measurement equipment (sonar depth, current meter,
range finder) used in data collecting activities. The result showed
the validation values of Hydro Survey Boat Version 1 and Hydro
Survey Boat Version 2, the estimated validation of river discharge
(Q) recorded 0.0373 m3/s. The significant differences of Q
between Hydro Survey Boat Version 1 as 0.0853 m3/s (56.3%)
and Hydro Survey Boat Version 2 as 0.042 m3/s (11.2%) which is
the Hydro Survey Boat Version 2 recorded more accurate
readings compared Hydro Survey Boat Version 1. There are
several advantages of this project which is reducing cost, improve
efficiency, and reduce risk during hydrology survey. The
development survey boat USV is innovation technology and it will
improved the hydrological method. |
