Indonesia is an archipelago located at three earthquake belts. This condition cause an earthquake can occur anytime and threaten human life. A quick and accurate early warning system by using the seismic wave data processing is required so, the number of victims affected by the earthquake can be shortened. Here, ADXL335 accelerometers are used as seismic sensors with an Arduino minimum system. The results show that when the first earthquake’s vibration occurs, P wave data detected by the ADXL335 sensor is successfully buffered, calibrated, transmitted and displayed on the server. When there are errors on the transmission, server will request for retransmission. The alarm of the earthquake early warning system will be activated if there are at least three sensors from different locations successfully transmit P wave data with the same scale. This is needed to prevent fake seismic waves.

Abstract The natural hazard, mainly earthquake, has caused substantial economic losses and human life loss to many countries. Taiwan, which is located on the western Circum-Pacific seismic belt, has encountered the problem as mentioned earlier in Meishan, Hsinchu-Taichung, and Chi-Chi earthquakes a few years ago. In this study, the researchers propose a novel robot-event integrated system capable of doing the automated inspection and emergency response due to a significant earthquake. When the household’s earthquake warning receiving device picks up an alert, its built-in wireless communications system will send a signal to the robot. The robot commences inspection of the indoor area via real-time image recognition and tracking. It will approach them upon detecting fallen people, regulating their movements via a robot operating system (ROS) monitoring interface. The robot is designed to operate in a house that remains standing with acceptable damage in which the furniture might falling and injure the occupants after an earthquake hit. The indoor experiment conducted to verify the robot system and operation with a designed condition such as fallen and non-fallen people as a detected object. The robot tested to deliver food or medicine for fallen people while waiting for rescuers to arrive. Tests indicate that the proposed smart robot has prospective implementation to the real-world application with more research and development. The smart robot integrated with an earthquake early warning system has a promising approach to the temporary care of people affected by earthquakes.

AbstractIn this study, we examine the scientific feasibility of an Earthquake Early Warning System in Tehran, Iran, by the integration of the Tehran Disaster Mitigation and Management Organization (TDMMO) accelerometric network and the PRobabilistic and Evolutionary early warning SysTem (PRESTo). To evaluate the performance of the TDMMO-PRESTo system in providing the reliable estimations of earthquake parameters and the available lead-times for The Metropolis of Tehran, two different approaches were analyzed in this work. The first approach was assessed by applying the PRESTo algorithms on waveforms from 11 moderate instrumental earthquakes that occurred in the vicinity of Tehran during the period 2009–2020. Moreover, we conducted a simulation analysis using synthetic waveforms of 10 large historical earthquakes that occurred in the vicinity of Tehran. We demonstrated that the six worst-case earthquake scenarios can be considered for The Metropolis of Tehran, which are mostly related to the historical and instrumental events that occurred in the southern, eastern, and western parts of Tehran. Our results indicate that the TDMMO-PRESTo system could provide reliable and sufficient lead-times of about 1 to 15s and maximum lead-times of about 20s for civil protection purposes in The Metropolis of Tehran.
