This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 4.0 License Predicting the Hardness of Turf Surfaces from a Soil Moisture Sensor Using IoT Technologies By Ann Marie McKeon PgD. Sci., BSc. Eng. A thesis submitted to Technological University Dublin, for the degree of Master of Engineering in Internet of Things Technologies. Supervised by Mr. David Powell Department of Engineering TU Dublin – Blanchardstown Campus September 2019 Abstract In horseracing, “the going” is a term to describe the racetrack ground conditions. In Ireland presently, a groundskeeper or course clerk walks the racecourse poking it with a blackthorn stick, assesses conditions, and declares the going – it is a subjective measurement. This thesis will propose using remote low-cost soil moisture sensors to gather high frequency data about the soil water content in the ground and to enable informed decisions to be made. This will remove the subjective element from the ground hardness, and look at the data in an objective way. The soil moisture sensor will systematically collect high frequency data from the ground and store the data in a remote database using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), InfluxDB and Node-RED. The database will hold soil moisture readings, their timestamp and GPS location. From this data and data from an industry-standard Clegg hammer, the soil sensor will be automatically calibrated for the soil that it is sitting in regardless of the soil make-up, the sensor model, and the drainage of the soil. The going of the soil will also be deduced. The primary soil saturation data is fused with secondary open source weather data. Weather forecast information is gathered spanning out 3 hours, 24 hours and 5 days, and estimates can be made regarding how the ground will behave. These estimates are automatically update every 3 hours. The data will also allow decisions to be made for irrigation planning. Finally, the data will be visually displayed in real-time enabling a clear view of the soil moisture, current ground hardness, the going, rainfall and their forecasts. The system will propose how conditions will change if irrigation is applied. i Declaration I certify that this thesis which I now submit for the examination for the award of Masters of Engineering in Internet of Things Technologies, is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others, save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. This thesis was prepared according to the regulations for the graduate study by research of Technological University Dublin and has not been submitted in whole or in part for another award in any other third level institution.

Early last month, California state Senator Bill Dodd, D-Napa, and Assemblyman Adam Gray, D-Merced, announced the joint hearing in response to the high number of equine fatalities at Santa Anita this past winter. Giving this hearing unintended timeliness were the two fatalities at Santa Anita over the weekend--something that lawmakers brought up on various occasions.
