ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE:

 Earthquake “is also known as tremor, temblor or quake“ is actually the shaking of the earth’s surface, which results due to the sudden release of the energy in the Earth’ lithosphere which creates seismic waves. In very simple words, the word earthquake can be described as the seismic event – whether natural or caused by the humans that generate seismic waves. As the seismic waves or the vibration waves can also be generated by the humans, so the false readings can be generated by the monitoring sensors. To overcome this problem every city can have 2 or 3 more sensors to further ensure the earthquake.

which killed more than 80,000 people. We need a real-time earthquake sensor network that can basically predict the direction of the earthquake so that the local authorities can be informed in time before it hits the people of that area.

For each area, that is to be monitored a device will be designed which will consist of the vibration sensor, Nodemcu Module, and a power supply, which is really cheap and economical. The software’s which will be used in this project are

1.     CadeSoft Eagle “Schematic and PCB designing” Software.

2.     C programming in Arduino IDE.

3.     Ubidots IOT platform for real-time Monitoring along with date and time through a chart. 

      OBJECTIVES:

The main objective of my research project is to work on the real-time earthquake detector sensor network, and design such a low-cost real-time earthquake detector monitoring system that can be easily used throughout the country or world. Still, we are relying on the technology of other countries due to which we spent a lot of money. So that’s why I decided to work on this project and make our own monitoring system for the earthquake based on the wifi module, vibration sensor, and IoT platform.

CONCLUSION:

 I successfully monitored both regions; I successfully received the vibration vales on the U bidots IoT platform. I was able to monitor both regions in real-time. I also received the emails for both regions. The vibration values received are not the actual values as I didn’t define any range and I didn’t check it against the real earthquake. I performed my tests and I was able to detect very minor vibrations. Defining actual values will only be possible if this system is installed in real. This Project needs further research to calibrate the sensor so that it can give the actual values as per the earthquake. But for my research work, it was more than enough, and I successfully demonstrated this, that my idea can be used in real. As the cost is really low. So that’s all about the Earthquake Detector system.

In the future, this project can be modified by adding the gyroscopes, and this way we can monitor the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis values of the sensor.
