The system provides soil movement alerts ahead of time both locally via hooters and blinkers installed on the road and remotely via SMSes on the phone. It also alerts for significant rainfall (prediction of more than 5 mm of rain with more than 80% chance). The system is being developed for commercial purposes via a faculty-led startup, Intiot Sevices Pvt Ltd., India. The system can predict extreme weather events and soil movements through AI/ML applications. 20+ systems have been deployed in Mandi district, HP, 3 systems in Balianala, Uttrakhand, 3 systems in Dharampur along the Kalka-Shimla track of the Indian Railways, and 3 systems in Sirmaur district, HP. The system cost is less than 1/200th of a conventional geotechnical monitoring system, which does not generate warnings or aid prediction options.
