ABSTRACT
Landslides are a serious geological hazard caused when masses of rock, earth and debris flow down a steep slope during periods of intense rainfall and rapid snow melt. The immediate detection of landslide activity provided by real-time systems can be crucial in saving human lives and protecting property. The continuous data provided by remote real-time monitoring permits a better understanding of dynamic landslide behavior that enables engineers to create more effective designs to prevent or halt landslides. Landslides have frequently occurred on natural slopes during periods of intense rainfall. The server system gathers relevant hydrological and geological data via Internet from the threatened region where the landslides are likely to occur. In order to verify the feasibility of landslide detection sensor, a series of experimental studies was performed. Wireless sensor nodes are mainly to encode and encapsulate the measured parameters, then to transmit them to the gateway via wireless link.
