當土石流發生時,高濃度的泥石沿著河流沖刷而下,往往威脅沿岸居民的生命與財產,密切監測與提前預警可以降低損失與傷害。傳統的土石流感測器,例如鋼索、地聲計,被安裝固定在河道上,難以得到移動中土石流的相關資料。先前的研究已經提出一套偵測移動中土石流的感測器,但最主要的問題是耗電量過高,電池電量無法供應系統長時間的運作,一段時間過後必須由人力方式進入河道更換電池,或者需要再額外設計供電系統,例如太陽能供電。基於上述原因,本論文提出一套新的極低耗電土石流感測器。我們設計新硬體與低耗電運作方式,使電池續航力大量增加,提升此系統在戶外運作的可行性。
When the debris flow occurs, the high concentration of solid mixture washing down will threaten the lives and property of the residents living alone the river. Close monitoring and early warning can reduce the losses and damage. In the previous study a wireless sensor INSIDER was proposed, which can move along with the debris flow to detect and measure the parameters in situ. The main issue is that its power consumption is still high, so that the battery cannot supply a long-term operation. After a period of time, it needs to replace the battery in the riverbed or design the second power supply such as solar battery. Based on the above reasons, this study presents a new generation ultra-low-power wireless sensor, SMARTCONE, for monitoring debris flow.
