The SESAMO early warning system for rainfall-triggered landslides
2016
The development of Web-based information systems coupled with advanced monitoring systems could prove to be extremely useful in landslide risk management and mitigation. A new frontier in the field of rainfall-triggered landslides (RTLs) lies in the real-time modelling of the relationship between rainfall and slope stability; this requires an intensive monitoring of some key parameters that could be achieved through the use of modern and often low-cost technologies. This work describes an integrated information system for early warning of RTLs that has been deployed and tested, in a prototypal form, for an Italian pilot site. The core of the proposed system is a wireless sensor network coll…
A Real time locating system for local fleet management
2006
Abstract Local locating systems are necessary where a big number of units are handled. In this case, we propose a management system for parking spaces for vehicles that are distributed among eight different-sized lots on a 1.8 million square meter premises. In order to quickly locate each particular vehicle in this area, a new real time location system (RTLS) has been successfully installed. The vehicle location system Moby-R automatically monitors every vehicle movement and tracks its current parked position. All the vehicles are given a data carrier which is attached to the inside rear-view mirror with a special hanger, precisely locating the vehicle within approximately five meters
