Employing Wireless Sensor Networks for Early Prediction of Volcanic Earthquake and Eruptions

Abstract

The monitoring of volcanic activity from mountains for disaster management has employed single sensors till date. This system makes the monitoring work complicated, not flexible and efficient enough to be adopted for various volcano environments. The accuracy of volcano monitoring and coverage of observations has now been a possibility due to the development of networked wireless sensors. Here we propose a prototype for remote data logging and volcano monitoring by deploying wireless sensor nodes. Using a real time (RT) system that can launch a volcanic warning with effectiveness within a most possible short time has been realized. With these settings a key role will be played by using wireless sensor networks for volcano monitoring. The aim of this proposal is to satisfy the metrics of RT requirements by deploying optimum number of multiple sensors. Here we have combined the test bed and simulation results implemented in a controlled environment. In this paper we perform detailed study of test bed results including simulation analysis to provide valuable and accurate information for specifications to be implanted in permanent real time volcano monitoring solutions.
