Abstract

The growth in the number of passengers and goods using ferry transportation continues to increase so increasing shipping safety is considered. The use of advanced technology to improve shipping safety continues to be developed, one of which is a system for monitoring water levels and flow speed. This technology is very necessary because it can cause the ship to run aground and make the ship unstable if there are errors in measurements. In this research, a prototype design of an IoT-based water level and water flow speed monitoring system was carried out so that monitoring can be carried out in real-time and remotely. In this research, the ESP 32 microcontroller was used as a data processor for measurement results and data transfer to the Internet. To measure water level, an ultrasonic sensor type JSN-SR04T is used and to measure water flow speed, a turbine sensor type YF-S201 is used. Meanwhile, the interface for reading measurement results uses the Thingview application. Based on the results of research that has been carried out, data was obtained that the JSN-SR04T type ultrasonic sensor can measure water level with an accuracy of 98.67%. Meanwhile, the accuracy of measuring water flow speed using the YF-S201 type turbine sensor is 96.00%.
