    摘要: Method and system for assessing corrosion and/or degradation of a pipeline for the transportation of any medium, comprising an array of local sensor modules over the length of the pipeline and arranged for measuring local temperature and humidity values at the pipeline and means for transmitting those values, along with sensor module identifiers, to processing means, as well as means for receiving the sensor module identifiers and local temperature and humidity values measured at the pipeline and inputting them into assessment means arranged for assessing local indicators related to the local corrosion and/or degradation of the pipeline. Wireless transmission means may be used for transmitting the values, along with the sensor module identifiers, to the processing means. The local sensor modules may comprise means for harvesting energy from sunlight and/or temperature differences between the pipeline and its environment.
