Application of Real-Time Monitoring and Data Web Sharing to Landslides

Acquiring instant information and sharing massive data are indispensable elements in social informatization. Real-time monitoring is realized with the support of computer and communication technologies. The monitoring facilities which are controlled by communication network terminal computers would collect and transfer data according to established procedures or real-time instructions. That is, data could be acquired under all weather and no duty conditions. Then the acquired massive data could be widely shared by issuing on Internet Web. This whole procedure is called real-time monitoring. Demonstration station for real-time monitoring and prewarning is just used to issue monitoring instructions, collect and transfer real-time data through GPRS wireless network between local monitoring stations and central station on the basis of computer and modern communication technologies. So the monitoring data elements could be gathered on central station server computer through communication network, and then be Web published and shared through the connection of central station sever computer and the Internet. Thus, informatization for landslides monitoring could be realized, and information could be optimally utilized. The geologic hazard monitoring and prewarning demonstration station in Wushan County was a good example of real-time monitoring and data Web sharing for landslides, which has greatly improved the level of geologic hazard monitoring and prewarning in China.
