Abstract
The system of awareness of the overflow of river water that causes flooding cannot work automatically and in real time in providing a warning about the elevation of river surface that potentially flood. It's caused residents who live around the river area do not know the situation when the river overflow. There are several alternatives to detect river overflow, one of them is by using microcontroller ultrasonic sensor based. The research aims to design prototype decision support system based on the ultrasonic sensor for flood detection that works automatically detects the river overflow. The software development model used is Prototype Model. The result of this research is a prototype in the form of microcontroller ultrasonic sensor based which can be used as flood detection decision support system that will know the height of river surface designed to detect certain level about flood potency with a low-level error.
Highlights
Indonesia is a disaster-prone area [1]
Decision support system for flood detection to predict flood potential based on river water level that is detected/read by microcontroller based on ultrasonic sensors, placed on several riverbanks
The results of this Decision Support System (DSS) will be a source of information about the warning of the flood that will be sending in broadband via SMS Gateway to the people who live around the river area
Summary
Indonesia is a disaster-prone area [1]. One of them is the usual flooding around the river area. The impact can be avoid if only the community is more prepared and alerted of the coming of the flood disaster. One of the utilization of DSS can use as an early warning system over natural disaster events, that later, become a device for the dissemination of information about the level of river water level to communities living around the watershed [6, 7, 8]. The researchers identified the absence of a flood detection system that can work automatically and in real time in detecting the water level of the river and disseminating the information to communities around the watershed. The authors formulate the problem to be discussed: how to design prototype of DSS for flood detection based on ultrasonic sensor. For the issues discussed not too widespread, the researchers limit the design first prototype of flood detection system based on ultrasonic sensor which will be the blueprint for further research [9]
