Abstract

The earthquake early warning (EEW) research group at the National Taiwan University (NTU) and one technology company have been developing a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) type of accelerometer (the “Palert” EEW sensor) specifically designed for EEW purpose. In addition to the physical properties of the MEMS accelerometer, the main advantage of the MEMS accelerometer comparing to the other seismometers is that it is a relatively very low-cost seismic sensor. We present the performances of the Palert EEW network located at the Hualien region during a two-month experiment. The results of the Hualien Palert network encourage the further implementations for the MEMS-type of seismometer in the EEW application.
