Abstract

In the article authors consider the possibility of using current IT technologies to create a computer system dedicated to monitoring geological phenomena. Nowadays, there are a few technical solutions dedicated to monitoring various kinds of events. Some of them are standalone devices, other a little bit more complex systems. After seminar, realized together with geologists within the GIT project, the conclusion was born that there are no full-scale, comprehensive systems which can be able to perform a measurement acquisition at an field location, transmit information to a database, and process achieved data online and offline in an unaided way. Therefore, in the article the concept of such a system is presented. The system is dedicated to monitoring rock slides and similar geological activities. There are some techniques involved, which allows to reduce the processing and transmission time of data as well as power consumption and maintenance cost.
