Kostiantin Kozko, Michail D. Geraimchuk · 2010
Seismic activity is the cause of a lot of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunami etc. That’s why it’s monitoring is extremely important part of providing human and social safety. Using seismic activity monitoring system allows to detect and warn about danger in time and therefore to prevent large number of victims and material losses. Nowadays wired networks are used for the creation of such systems. This article outlines proposed wireless network of seismic activity monitoring which allows to increase safety and quality as well as simplicity and deployment efficiency. 1. Basics of sensor networks Wireless sensor networks have significant advantages comparing to wired and can be used in wide range of industrial and civil areas such as industrial monitoring and control, machines and equipment monitoring, environmental monitoring, home automation and motion control, etc.
