Abstract
Rock collapse an landslides represent harmful natural hazards threatening human settlements, transport routes and critical infrastructures in mountain regions. An effective and real-time monitoring action is thus crucial to save human lives by anticipating events. Here, we suggest a real-time monitoring system characterized by a system-of-systems approach in which different monitoring subsystems (each one looking at a different view of the physical phenomenon) coexist within an homogenous framework providing remote data transmission, interpretation, storage and analysis. The wireless segment of the suggested system, here proposed within a rock collapse monitoring application, can be easily extended to address landslides by simply considering additional ad-hoc sensors such as bore-hole inclinometers and piezometers. The system has been succesfully deployed on the Italian section of the Alps.
