Applications of the Rua-Rai-Sai for Disaster Monitoring and Warning in Thailand

This paper provides an overview of the ongoing developments and applications of the Rua-Rai-Sai (RRS) system in Thailand. RRS is a system for monitoring and issue warnings about natural disasters to its local communities. The fundamental operation centers around the analysis of electromagnetic switch states, which are interconnected through electrical wiring. Various versions of RRS devices has been developed to address different disaster scenarios, including landslides, floods, and elephant intrusions. The default detection range of RRS is 1 km, but can be adjusted based on user requirements. One of the significant strengths of RRS is its user-friendly and ease of maintenance. However, the cost of RRS is heavily depends on the required detection range due to use of electrical wires.
