DEVELOPEMENT OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK FOR LANDSLIDE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

Landslide is a massive catastrophe occurring all around the world and causing thousand of fatalities throughout the year. It is also ranked as second disaster in the level of destructiveness. The awareness on landslide issue has rise since 1960s, somehow there are still lack of technology developed to mitigate the risk of landslide occurrence. The existed technologies produced are highly sophisticated plus expensive. The campaign introduce by the local authority also did not enough to enhance awareness to prepare, and to reduce the impact of landslide. To solve this, this project will develop a wireless network system (WSN) for landslide early warning system which will alert the possibilities of landslide occurrence for further action and mitigation. Several sensors will be chosen to measure monitor the significant factors which possibly induce landslide. The effectiveness and robustness of the system will also be evaluated throughout the project via slope model and data acquisition in Moteview software.
