Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for a sensor enabled carrier for monitoring and detecting subgrade deformation in working platforms. Working platforms are temporary structures that provide support and stability for heavy machinery (e.g. cranes, piling rigs). They are sometimes referred to as temporary working platforms as they are designed for a specific purpose and a limited lifetime. In one aspect, a sensor enabled carrier is placed within the substructure of a working platform. The sensors are configured to a sensor pod that receives the various inputs, and further transmit the signals to a gateway device. The gateway device may be configured to one or more sensor pods located at the working platform, and serves to transmit the signals to a backend system wherein computing systems interpret the received signals. The backend system may further serve as a distribution point for corrective measures or early warning system in the event subgrade deformation is detected.
