Abstract
The use of sensors in infrastructures made by human beings is becoming a standard practice at the time to prevent geological disaster, which causes traffic jam, casualties, economic loss and environment disruption. In this work a real-time control of landslides is performed in order to monitor their situation and to generate an alert system than can prevent some future accidents. This goal is achieved through the use of a wireless sensor network based on motes ‘Imote2’ connected to ‘LCF196’ inclinometers. This network allows for the monitoring of the study area with a fault tolerance topology system provided also by energy autonomous power supply based in solar panels and energy storage batteries. The network gathers information from each spot every 15 min, based in a star topology which sends the measures of each node to a central station. The network makes a control for one landslide, where several displacement meters are needed to monitor the displacements in different points, in order to detect possible faults around the landslide. Besides, this network is set in an autonomous and scalable way, where new nodes can be added without any modification on the network configuration.
