Streamlining River Flood Prevention with an Integrated AIoT Framework

River floods stand among the natural disasters with far-reaching impacts, affecting human lives, the economy, infrastructure, agriculture, and more. Substantial investments by organizations are directed toward innovative strategies for flood prevention. The concept of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), a fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, has showcased its prowess across various domains. In this paper, we introduce an AIoT framework where river flood sensors, located in every region, transmit their data using LoRaWAN technology to local broadcast centers in proximity. These broadcast centers subsequently forward the data via 4G/5G networks to a centralized cloud server. The server employs efficient AI algorithms to analyze the data and predict river conditions nationwide, contributing to proactive flood prevention. This approach has demonstrated effectiveness on multiple fronts. LoRaWAN-based communication between sensor nodes and broadcast centers offers reduced energy consumption and expanded coverage, while AI-driven data analysis enhances the accuracy of river flood predictions.
