Rescue for Earthquake Areas Using Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

A wireless sensor network is proposed for monitoring buildings to assess earthquake damage. In existing method for controlling all the process manual operation is needed. To overcome this change the full control systems into automated manner. The sensor nodes use micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and vibration sensors. Both the sensors are fixed at the building to measure the seismic response of the building during earthquake. The entire process requires large energy, to avoid this energy consumption several countries recently made laws related to standby power consumption. To success this exertion we should consider not only the power reduction but also efficient automatic control in networked home environment. Here propose Host-Agent based structure to control standby power of consumer electronics effectively. Host and Agent are the two main components. Host manages the entire system and generates standby power control command. While the Agent steer actuator according to control command received from the Host. It is also proposed to prevent the human’s life from earthquake disasters. When the earthquake may occur here we use two motors. One for opening all the windows and doors automatically and another motor will also cuts all AC electrical lines. Effective way of monitoring is done through highly sensible sensors.
