Abstract: By incorporating intelligent technology, an intelligent measurement and control system is built for river model test. A completely automatic river model integrating self-design, self-running, and self-data-processing is constructed. The automatic processes of model design, test, and data processing are expounded. Developed with VB (visual basic), ASP (active server pages), and JAVA, the intelligent measurement and control system could adapt to multiple terminals, such as PC, server, and mobile. Moreover, the system is applied to the model design, boundary control, data collecting and processing, as well as comparison between model flow velocity and prototype velocity in the physical model test of Chaoyang Bridge on Ganjiang River. Artificial verification proves the correctness and reliability of the established control system.

Key words: river model, intelligent measurement and control, automatic experiment system, self-design, self-experiment, multi-terminal measurement and control system
