Fixed-mode of mobile monitoring system for Indonesian volcano

A system based on Wireless Sensor Network, Mobile Robot and satellite technology has been proposed to overcome some problems in Indonesian volcano monitoring system. Fixed-mode of this mobile monitoring system for Indonesian volcano (MONICA) has been defined and shown efficiency both in power consumption and bandwidth utilization. In this research, we investigated the application of our system for a strong motion earthquake case, which leads to a big eruption. The simulation result shows that our system could manage the power (total 0.39 kJ with 0.07 mJ when there is no data to be sent) as efficient as the bandwidth (0.98 normalized throughput). To guarantee the system to be adaptive and robust to its environment, a quality of service management has been applied to the system. Transmission process consumed the most energy (0.30 kJ), following by seismic processing (0.06 kJ) and reception process of the data (0.03 kJ). The data delivered 100% as well as there was no false alarm with 1 second alarm detection.
