Landslide Detection System: Based on IOT

Landslides or landslip occurs at the down slopes. Landslides are most common in the Asian countries. The movements of rock mass or soil under the gravity are causes due to both Natural and human activities. Increase in the hydrostatic pressure, by saturation of rain water, melting of snow, increase in groundwater level, increase of pore water pressure, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are natural causes of the landslip. Human activities include the deforestation, cultivation, machinery vibrations, blasting mining etc. Decrease in the shear stress and increase in the shear strain borne by material cause the change in the stability of the slope. Landslide causes extensive loss to the human lives and properties this makes important to monitor and make early warning systems. An attempt is made to create low cost and effective warning system IOT based landslide detection system. Using Arduino, Wi-Fi module, Moisture Sensors and Vibration sensors. When data is collected it is uploaded by Arduino to the cloud ThingSpeak which help to monitor the real time data and send alert to the end user via SMS on the mobile phone about the Landslide when it happens.
