Stages

Phase I Evaluation of the possibilities of using new materials in microwire and ribbon forms for construction of sensitive elements for landslide transducers. Design and practical realization of transducers for evaluating the natural hazard risk using the sensitive elements.

Phase II Development of hardware and software components integrated into landslide transducer architecture.Design and realization of the pore water pressure sensor. Laboratory testing of the landslide transducers based on new magnetic materials, developed for evaluation of natural hazard risk. Characteristics measurement and performance evaluation.

Phase III Construction of final version of the pore water pressure sensor. Characteristics measurement and performance evaluation of the pore water pressure sensor. Studies regarding the optimal architecture of the wireless communication network by taking into account the topology of the surveyed landslide area. Establishment of the final architecture of the wireless network.

Phase IV Design, realization and testing of wireless communication network of the monitoring system. Protocols implementation at individual transducer level, data collection station and central server. Building of end-user interface.

Phase V Testing the landslide monitoring system on the field, working in real operating conditions. Building the data bases, information collection and results interpretation. Results dissemination and establishing contacts with potential users.
