Telematics in a transportation system based on pipelines in the oil industry, case study of Cuba

The paper subject is the concept of a system for monitoring the operation of a pipeline transport network using telematics for the needs of the oil industry on a selected example. Transport telematics allows to deliberately influence the proces of moving cargo/ data using the elaborated deliberate decisions, as a result of the prior analysis of information and knowledge obtained using a dispersed system of sensors associated with means of pipeline transport, infrastructure, environment and man. The concept of the process of monitoring the technical condition of pipelines for the purpose of ensuring the required efficiency of the transport system and decisions regarding the process of their operation using a dedicated distributed monitoring system of selected operational parameters will be presented. In particular, the paper will focus on the location and categorization of pipe damages.
