LANDSLIDE DETECTION AND ALERTING SYSTEM USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

摘要

The landslide detection and alerting system using wireless sensor network. The landslide detection and alerting system using wireless sensor network of the present invention is capable of real time and continuous monitoring of different prevailing parameters of landslide such as rainfall, vertical and horizontal inclination of rock mass, displacement of rock mass and ground water level in strata, and providing different levels of alarm and short messages to administrative staffs of different capacities and subsequently to the local residents for evacuating the place of impending landslide. The said system of the present invention is a combination of a plurality of different geotechnical sensors, programmable active wireless nodes, gateway and base radio, server, alert mechanism and application software. Use of the system of the present invention would help in monitoring different landslide prone zones in an large area by a single system by installing five or more types of geotechnical sensors in each zone and integrating all wireless networks of different zones with the same system. This would help in providing accurate and reliable landslide prediction model based on multivariate statistical analysis of different parameters and analytical hierarchy process method. This would also help in saving valuable life of people residing near landslide prone areas.
