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

边坡破坏每年造成成千上万人死亡，并破坏世界各地的建筑环境和基础设施。目前迫切需要一种低成本的仪器，能够提供斜坡不稳定的早期预警，以便疏散弱势群体，及时修复和维护关键的基础设施。本项目旨在设计和评估一个原型声斜坡位移速率传感器的现场性能。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表现如何。

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.
