Smart autonomous self powered wireless sensor networks based low-cost landslide detection system

Abstract

Landslides are one of the very serious geologic hazard happens in almost every country around the World. Globally, landslides cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries each year and also Financial Losses. Landslides are mostly unpredictable and occur within a short period of time. To save human life and avoid losses, efficient Technology has to be developed and implemented in high geologically hazardous Areas with low cost. Wireless Sensor Networks Plays a major role in Environment monitoring system. This paper is concerned with the development and implementation of Low cost Autonomous Wireless Sensor Networks based Landslide detection integrated with self-energy harvesting Powered early warning systems (WSN-SEH). WSN-SEH consists of MEMS sensors, Energy harvesting systems, Low power embedded controllers, efficient power Management systems and Super capacitors as storage device.
