Abstract:

The envisaged project foresees the building of the distributed European e-laboratory of Physics and Natural sciences remote experiments for the support of the teacher in new teaching methods and gaining interest of students in exact sciences by new methods of teaching for the 3rd Millennium. The project will full use the already achieved results with the running experiments available on www.ises.info, based on the simple technology of server-client and web services using Java applets and web browser.

INTELIRIG - Intelligent Irrigation Systems

Coordinator:

Assoc.Prof. Marinel Temneanu

Technical University “Gh. Asachi” of Iasi, mtemnean@ee.tuiasi.ro, Romania

Abstract:

The project will propose the realization of measurement and control modules of distributed data transmission that can be implemented on automatic irrigation systems so that it may lead to obtaining of an intelligent system of irrigation combined with automatic nutrients injection, relying on the sensory investigation of the environment and soil parameters conditions. The decisional algorithm of the control center prescribes combined irrigation recipes according to the exploited crop and to its development specificity, and the investigation is carried out at irrigation cell level, modularly. Data flux ommunication has as a physical support the existent infrastructure of power supply of the automatic irrigation systems and is developed through the Power Line Communications technique (PLC). The system architecture is so conceived that it should allow its implementation on the automatic irrigation systems of both circular movement (central pivot), and linear movement.
