Abstract

Vehicles loaded with Over Dimension Overload (ODOL) cause damage to road infrastructure, traffic accidents, and endanger crossing transportation. ODOL vehicles also contribute to the death of people. This research focuses on characterizing the effect of moving loads on fiber optic light loss. Problem-solving approach through the optical fiber macrobending method. This research aims to be implemented in the WIM system concept. Macrobending comes from the weights contained in the body dump. The types of loading carried out are static and dynamic. Under dynamic loading, the speed variation is 0.1 m/s, 0.2m/s, and 0.3 m/s. The research results show that the greater the loading value, the greater the attenuation value of the optical fiber. This research applies to all three speed variations of the dummy dump truck, both front and rear wheels. Apart from that, the best sensitivity value is found at a speed variation of 0.1 m/s. The value is 2.029. This data can be used as a reference for the most recommended speed when a loaded vehicle passes through a fiber optic sensor-based WIM system.

Abstract

Fiber optic sensors offer a high-performance alternative because they provide a low-cost solution, resistance to electromagnetic interference, multiplexing capabilities, and high integration. The performance of fiber optic sensors applies to measuring physical parameters such as pressure, bending, and temperature. This study aims to determine the optimal value of using optical fiber types in landslide early detection sensors. The method used is bending in the form of deflection on the optical fiber. The deflection values used are 0 mm - 15 mm, 0 mm - 20 mm, and 0 mm - 25 mm. The optical fiber is placed horizontally in the middle of the bending tool. This bending affects the deflection of the optical fiber, resulting in the attenuation of light in the optical fiber. The deflection phenomenon results in light attenuation in the optical fiber. The sensitivity level of a single-mode fiber optic sensor is higher than a multimode. It shows the greater linearity value in each deflection treatment. Single-mode optical fiber linearity data on deflection variations of 0 - 15 mm, 0 - 20 mm, and 0 - 25 mm, respectively, are 0.9833, 0.9871, and 0.9847. At the same time, the linearity data of multimode optical fiber is 0.8926, 0.9841, and 0.9687. Single-mode optical fiber is more sensitive than multimode optical fiber. It is caused by the core diameter of single-mode optical fiber, which is much smaller than that of multimode optical fiber. The difference in core diameter results in differences in light propagation in the optical fiber. The small diameter of the core has a low dispersion level so that more light intensity is reflected into the core. Light attenuation occurs in a single-mode optical fiber due to macro bending treatment. Meanwhile, the attenuation of light in Multimode fiber optics is due to the bending and dispersion of light. Therefore, a landslide early detection sensor design is more optimal by using a single-mode optical fiber.

Abstract

The increasing mobility of motorized vehicles, such as trucks, has positively contributed to regional growth and connectivity in Indonesia. However, this development has also introduced significant challenges, particularly road damage caused by overloaded vehicles. Such damage not only jeopardizes the safety of road users but also incurs substantial economic costs due to infrastructure maintenance and repair. This research utilizes a real-time Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) monitoring system based on optoelectronic technology and a WhatsApp gateway. By combining the precision of optoelectronic sensors with the accessibility of communication through WhatsApp, this system aims to accurately and promptly detect overloaded vehicles. The study focuses on integrating the real-time WIM monitoring system with optoelectronic devices and WhatsApp-based communication. The methodology involves applying varying loads to the fiber optic sensor system, ranging from 1 kg to 10 kg, with loading time variations of 100 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 750 ms, and 1000 ms. The programming aspect uses Arduino and Virtual Basic (VB) to support the hardware system for real-time detection by the optoelectronic components. The results demonstrate that the developed fiber optic sensor performs optimally, as evidenced by the data trendline showing alignment at the same point during both ascending and descending conditions. Furthermore, the system successfully provides user notifications via WhatsApp when detecting threshold data at a load of 6 kg crossing the fiber optic sensor system.
