ABSTRACT
Most debris flow monitoring systems deployed today use indirect means to track information regarding debris flows. In this work, we introduce a novel debris flow monitoring system for in-situ and direct tracking of debris flows in real-time. The core idea is to throw wireless sensors into the debris flows and collect flow information as they move along. We will describe the design of the wireless sensors and present some preliminary performance results.

A Context-Adaptive and Energy-Efficient Wireless Sensor Network for Debris Flow Monitoring
WCSN '14: Proceedings of the 2014 International Conference on Wireless Communication and Sensor NetworkWithout the applicable methods of forecasting the outbreak of debris flows in a wide area as well as long time, wireless sensor networks (WSN) of monitoring debris flow are essential for protecting safety and property of human. In nowadays, a common and ...
Efficient Placement and Dispatch of Sensors in a Wireless Sensor Network
Sensor deployment is a critical issue because it affects the cost and detection capability of a wireless sensor network. In this work, we consider two related deployment problems: sensor placement and sensor dispatch. The former asks how to place the ...
Maximizing the Lifetime of a Barrier of Wireless Sensors
To make a network last beyond the lifetime of an individual sensor node, redundant nodes must be deployed. What sleep-wake-up schedule can then be used for individual nodes so that the redundancy is appropriately exploited to maximize the network ...
