Cautus RADS
Cautus RADS utilises advanced sensors and real-time data processing for reliable avalanche and rockfall warning. The system has integrated camera recordings and a wide range of different communication solutions.
Multiple sensor nodes using geophones and accelerometers in different axes that provide information on landslide and rockfall events
Very good time synchronisation provides information about direction and size
Real-time data processing and analyses of events through various algorithms
Wide range of two-way communication options
Wireless radio signals relay avalanche warnings to activate traffic lights.
Integrated with camera for recording avalanche events
All data is available on Cautus Web
The system does not need to see the avalanche path
Established with alternative energy
The Cautus wireless Rock and Avalanche Detection System (RADS) is a newly developed system for warning of avalanches and rockfalls. The system consists of sensor nodes such as geophones and accelerometers to detect and analyse vibrations in the ground. The data is sent to an edge processing unit that analyses the data and warns of events such as avalanches and rockfalls.
The development of the system is based on our experience with our geophone-based system. We have developed a new multisensor-based system. It registers and analyses ground vibrations. The system consists of three sensor nodes that register vibration in three axes using various sensors such as geophones and accelerometers.
The sensor nodes continuously send data to the HUB, which analyses the data in real time. Based on the analysis, the system can send alarms and information about landslides or rockfalls. Due to the multiple sensors and high time synchronisation, the system can distinguish between landslides, rockfalls and vibrations that are classified as noise.
The system has been developed with several alternative communication methods. The methods can be radio for local communication for road blocking and two-way communication through the mobile network for transferring large amounts of data about landslides or rockfalls.
