Design of an automatic landslide and earthquake warning system in rural areas of Peru

Abstract

This research presents the automatic design of a warning system for the prevention of landslides and earthquakes with mechatronic systems with IOT communication to speed up the evacuation process. The development of the project shows that the application of force sensors, optical sensors and the type of communication are feasible in each process since it is divided into 3 levels where the values of both teachers are contrasted to issue an alert. The alert emission stage comprises 2 processes, first when the collapse signal is detected and verified by both sensors, it will be communicated from the installed part and the nearby community by IOT communication, it will be powered by solar panel and/or batteries and second when there is seismic movement, the bases will detect these signals and emit another type of noise for the evacuation. Being Peru a highly seismic country with many rural areas with steep slopes, every second counts in these natural events. The design of the proposed system will help prevent the events that occur in case of landslides and earthquakes; which are material damage and loss of life, with the type of power it will remain active during the day and the friendly design will facilitate its understanding.
