Impact of Imprecise Dating of Measurements for Bulk Material Flow Network Monitoring

Authors: Lionel Magnis and Nicolas Petit, 12th IFAC/IE E Conference on Programmable Devices and Embedded Systems PDeS, pp. 274-279, September 25-27 2013 DOI: 10.3182/20130925-3-CZ-3023.00070
This paper discusses the negative impact of errors in the time datation of data as they are gathered across a distributed network of sensors to be treated by a centralized monitoring algorithm. An example of flow monitoring serves as basis for the analysis. Using a simple probability model, we establish the variance of an estimator serving for loss detection and show how it varies with the time uncertainty. A mitigating solution is proposed. Further extensions are discussed.
