Abstract

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop prototype of the information system of the flood monitoring based internet of things (IoT). This prototype serves to assist users in accessing flood levels through water levels and rainy weather conditions. Design/Methodology/Approach – This paper presents the design of information system of flood monitoring based internet of things (IoT). This prototype study acquires water level and rainfall data using ultrasonic sensors HC-SR04 and rain sensor. Data of flood height and rain levels detected by sensors are processed using Arduino Uno Microcontroller to produce output data in HTML format. Flood altitude information system and rainy weather from the microcontroller are distributed using ethernet module as web server integrated with Wireless N Router TL-MR3020 as a gateway path to the user. Findings – This research produces a prototype of web-based flood monitoring information system that has been able to distribute data of flood height and rainy weather in real time. Research Limitations/Implications – In the implementation of measurement, the information system only accesses one flood detector or one flooded location. Practical Implications – This research produces a prototype of web-based flood monitoring information system that has been able to distribute data of flood height and rainy weather in real time. Originality/Value – System prototype is the first development that uses internet of things (IoTs) method in real time web-based flood measurement with information in the form of flood hazard information in the form of water level and rainy weather conditions.

Highlights

  • Flood disaster is one of the most common national disasters in Indonesia

  • An Ethernet component that acts as a web server using TCP / IP based communications media (Satria & Yanti 2017), Rain Sensor as rainfall detector (Xu et al, 2016), Wireless Router used in this research is Wireless N Router TL-MR3020 that is Wireless Broadband Router which has basic function as Access Point and GSM modem, Switch consisting of 4 Ethernet port and as Router which function to arrange and share internet network connection(Pham et al, 2013)

  • The design of the prototype system generated in accordance with the design in the series of Figure 1 has been built so as to produce a web-based flood information system with information in real time

Summary

Introduction

Flood disaster is one of the most common national disasters in Indonesia. The occurrence of floods has taken many victims. The information system of the flood in the middle of society is still done by the conventional way that is by verbal delivery of related parties such as Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and the police. Based on the information and communication system that has been applied by the society today, the government has implemented the development of monitoring system and early detection of natural disasters in general in the form of encouragement to the government and private research institution to be able to develop disaster early warning system. It aims to be able to mitigate and reduce disaster victims in general (Mercado, 2016)
