Integrating landslide monitoring into multi-hazard monitoring systems

Abstract

Civil Protection of Regione Calabria, in cooperation with the regional Multi-Risk Functional Centre, chose CAE to carry out the implementation of a landslide real-time monitoring solution. The landslide happened during February 2011 at Cirò, located within the Crotone Province. In June 2011 CAE completed the installation of the real-time landslide remote monitoring system. Data measured by a number of geotechnical sensors placed in relevant points are received at the regional Multi-Risk Functional Centre, located in Catanzaro Province. Among the strengths of this innovative solution developed by CAE, the leading Italian provider of multi-hazard monitoring systems, there is the opportunity to use traditional geotechnical sensors in a new and innovative manner. Their wireless and remote usage in real-time proved to make easier the implementation without affecting reliability of data measurement and collection. Three months after the activation of the system, data are nearly 100 % collected and transmitted in real time, with no interruption in data availability. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
