Wireless sensor network design for landslide warning system in IoT architecture

Abstract

Landslide disaster is frequently happened in Indonesia, which has climate characteristic, area topography, and geological structure that make this country has many landslide potential areas. During the rainy season, the load on the slopes grows due to the increase in water content in the soil, which can lead to landslide. Landslide early warning system can be built based on geological structure and some physical environment parameters using sensors using the wireless sensor network. The communication networks with Internet technology support a substantial backbone for communication. IoT architecture can accommodate wireless sensor network for landslide early warning system. This paper describes the system uses an Arduino ATMega 2560 microcontroller to collect data from many sensors. The measured and actual physical parameters are obtained, which indicates the system succeeds in providing sensed data.
