Abstract: A physical computing platform, called OptiRTC, is introduced for
augmenting the functionality of mechanized infrastructure with real time remote monitoring
(RTRM) and control (RTC) capabilities. In contrast to many single-purpose RTRM and RTC
systems, the platform leverages off-the-shelf components and a services-oriented
architecture (SOA) common to modern enterprise internet applic... read moreations to achieve degrees of
performance, adaptability, scalability, and affordability that make it suitable for a wide
range of applications. Funding for the development of OptiRTC was contributed by Geosyntec
Consultants as a means of delivering vertically integrated environmental monitoring and
control services to facilitate the adaptive and integrated operation of physical and
information systems involved in water management, geotechnical and other environmental
control applications. An example application of OptiRTC to reduce combined sewer overflow
(CSO) discharge volume at Engine House #3 in Washington, D.C. is
discussed.
