An electric-pole tilt notification system.

Abstract

In Uganda electric poles sometimes tilt due to strong winds and storms and other microorganism infections. This has always been difficult for UMEME know since most of the poles are in remote areas and other hard to reach areas like forests. The poles start tilting slowly by slowly until it falls down and this leads to destruction of property and sometimes loss of lives. This project was aimed at designing and implementing an electric pole tilt detection and notification system that will be able to detect the tilts and reports to the service center in case the tilts go beyond the threshold value. The work is arranged in mainly in six chapters, Chapter one includes the introduction of electric pole tilt detection and notification system in connection with the existing systems and its relevance. Chapter 2 discusses the literature about related to the system, Chapter 3 illustrates the methods employed in the whole research process and coming up of the working prototype of the system, Chapter 4 includes requirements analysis and system design, Chapter 5 talks about the implementation of a real system and its testing and finally chapter six contains recommendations from the researcher.
