Assessment of Landslides using Acoustic Real-time Monitoring Systems (ALARMS): Sensor Technical Development

边坡失稳每年在世界范围内造成数千人死亡和建筑环境基础设施的破坏。迫切需要低成本的仪器，可以提供早期预警的斜坡不稳定，使弱势人群的疏散和及时维修和维护的关键基础设施。本计画旨在设计并评估一种原型声学斜坡位移速率感测器之现场表现。通过研究开发的传感器将被重新设计，这些新的传感器将被安装在有问题的道路和铁路斜坡上，以研究它们与传统的更昂贵的仪器相比的性能。

Slope failures annually cause many thousands of deaths and damage built environment infrastructure world-wide. There is an urgent need for low cost instrumentation that can provide an early warning of slope instability to enable evacuation of vulnerable people and timely repair and maintenance of critical infrastructure. This project aims to design and assess field performance of a prototype acoustic slope displacement rate sensor. Sensors developed through research will be re-engineered and these new sensors will be installed at problem road and rail slopes to investigate how they perform compared to traditional more costly instrumentation.
