 Proposed system

 Wireless sensor network system for landslide monitoring and warning

5
 Introduction

 Remote monitoring and warning of landslides are made possible

by the advancement of technologies
. Radar systems
. Robotic total station
. WSNSs
 Wireless sensor devices incorporating MEMS-based IMU
 WSN components can be supported by various communication
technologies
 Existing WSNs include soil moisture sensors to measure 6

saturation and the IMU sensors to determine tilt

Flowchart

 Cont..

 WSNs with soil moisture and IMU sensors fail to indicate

translational soil or rock slides
 Hardware and software are the two basic components of the
system
 Hardware consists of the capture server, wireless IMU sensors,
and the power sources
 Software consists of addresses data collection, user interface, and
warning configuration

 Components

 Hardware and software are the two basic components of the

system.
 Hardware
. Capture server
. Wireless IMU sensors
. Power sources
 Software
. Data collection
. User interface 9

. Warning configuration
 Hardware
 Capture server
 The capture server is comprised an Internet connection, sensor communication
devices, data storage devices, and ARM processor.
 The proposed ARM processors are android and Raspberry Pi-3 computers
 The Internet connection for this base station could be via a cellular modem
 For a Raspberry Pi-3 computer, primary and secondary storage devices are
micro-SD and USB

10
 Cont.

 Wireless IMU sensor

 BNO055 absolute orientation sensor
 The accelerometer sensor provides the gravity and linear
acceleration
 The gravity accelerations provide the information on the tilting of
the slope and linear accelerations on the rate of slope movement
 The gyroscope measures the angular velocities of the moving rock

11
 Cont.

 Power sources
 Power supply for the base station consists of a 15-W solar panel
 Each sensor will consume 50 mA of power at passive mode
 180 mA during in transmission mode.

12
 Software
 The program for data collection and storage is written in Angular JS
 Which is an open-source Web application framework, and the
language is JavaScript

 Warning System
 Send two types of messages
. Alert signal
. Warning signal
 These messages will be sent in the form of e-mail and/or cell phone
text message 13
 Working

 Each sensor is programmed to operate in passive mode and active

mode
 At the beginning of the site monitoring, each sensor device will
be operated in passive mode
 During the passive mode, there will be no instantaneous data
transmission to the base station
 Passive mode is to minimize the power consumption
 During the active mode, the sampling frequency will be increased
(e.g.,100Hz) to capture maximum movement data
14
Sensor reading

15
 Cont.

 If no movement is detected the sensor operation mode will be

switched from active to passive mode
 A movement is detected by any sensor device placed on the slope
 When the movement is detected in these sensor devices, an alert
message is sent to the authorized personnel
 The movement check on the nearby system devices before sending
the alert message is to confirm
 Upon detecting certain movement type, warning signal is sent to the
users

16
 Cont.

 If movement on any of the sensor devices in the network is not

detected for a certain period, the system will be reset
 Upon resetting, all the sensors will be switched to passive mode

17
 Conclusion

 Provides intelligent monitoring and warning of landslides

 Can reduce natural disasters to a great extent
 Used to save human lives
