Distributed Detection for Landslide Prediction & Intimation in Hill

Areas using Wireless Sensor

ABSTRACT

Our project describes the evolution of a wireless sensor network system for landslide
detection in a region of heavy rainfall, steep slopes, and frequent landslides. The
deployment and data retrieval or collection from geophysical sensors, the design,
development and deployment of WSN, the development of data collection and data
aggregation algorithms needed for the network, and the network requirements of the
deployed landslide detection system, data analysis system etc has been discussed in this
project.

At present there is no such prevention or warning system for intimation or sensing the
occurrence of land slides. So during the landslide in hill areas and slope regions and
heavy rainfall regions lots of damage occurs and many lives are risked and also lost.

In our project we employ inexpensive strain gauges that measure the strain due to built-
up pressure within rocks. Hence, we made a study of stress-strain characteristics of
various igneous rocks that are found in landslide slope region.
