Abstract

En términos de sostenibilidad de las playas turísticas, un factor de impacto es la medición de parámetros asociados a la calidad del ecosistema, la calidad sanitaria y la calidad recreativa. La medición permite identificar el deterioro y las virtudes de este tipo de playas para tomar decisiones acertadas sobre la gestión del litoral. El trabajo presenta las condiciones y especificaciones técnicas del sistema de monitoreo para las playas de la ciudad de Santa Marta. La solución incluye los nodos sensores, el nodo sumidero, el centro de monitoreo, la red de sensores inalámbricos en malla y los radioenlaces para interconectar las cinco playas. Para hacer viable el sistema, se prototipó y probó. La distancia entre los nodos de la malla se determinó en base a las mediciones de la intensidad de la señal recibida y los paquetes perdidos, el modelado de la pérdida de ruta y el ensombrecimiento en el canal inalámbrico. Las características de los radioenlaces se establecieron utilizando la topografía digital del terreno y el modelo Longley-Rice. Se obtuvo una atenuación de canal inalámbrico promedio de -42,46 dB, exponente de pérdida de trayecto de 2,08, sombreado de 5,6 dB para playas y distancia entre nodos de 130 metros. Adicionalmente, se parametrizaron siete radioenlaces para sortear los cerros de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Para una malla triangular y los dispositivos seleccionados, las pruebas dieron un 99,2% de confiabilidad. Los resultados obtenidos avalan la implementación de la propuesta.
