- Abstract
- We consider the problem of identifying the source location of a contaminant via analyzing changes in concentration levels observed by a sensor network in a river system. To address this problem, we propose a framework including two main steps: (i) pre-processing data; and (ii) training and testing a classification model. Specifically, we first obtain a data set presenting concentration levels of a contaminant from a simulation model, and extract numerical characteristics from the data set. Then, random forest models are generated and assessed to identify the source location of a contaminant. By using the numerical characteristics from the prior step as their inputs, the models provide outputs representing the possibility, i.e., a value between 0 and 1, of a spill event at each candidate location. The performance of the framework is tested on a part of the Altamaha river system in the state of Georgia, United States of America.
