Study Notes
Real-Time Hazard Detection
- Continuous monitoring of environmental and geological conditions to detect early warning signs of landslides.
- Immediate alerts to authorities and residents for evacuation and disaster response.
Enhanced Prediction Accuracy
- Integration of machine learning and AI models to analyze historical and real-time data for improved landslide predictions.
- Reduction in false alarms and improved alert reliability.
Improved Disaster Preparedness and Response
- Sufficient lead time for authorities to take precautionary measures and minimize casualties/infrastructure damage.
- Enables proactive decision-making for disaster risk management.
Cost-Effective and Scalable Deployment
- Use of low-power wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and IoT solutions for easy deployment in remote/high-risk areas.
- Renewable energy sources (e.g., solar power) enhancing system sustainability and efficiency.
Data-Driven Risk Assessment
- Collection and analysis of real-time geotechnical and meteorological data to assess landslide susceptibility.
- Creation of long-term datasets to improve hazard modeling and mitigation strategies.
