Resumen

This research presents the design of an early warning system against landslides for road infrastructure, through mechatronic systems with IOT communication, which will help in the prevention of road accidents with a quick response. The system can be coupled to existing walls or in the process of construction, and shows the application of force and infrared sensors. The system is divided into 3 processes that will help a quick response with autonomy in each process. The detection stage of a possible landslide is given by force and infrared sensors, which will check if it is a massive landslide sending an alert to the control center, in the second process will be the rectification of the landslide by force and infrared sensors that will send a signal that there is a larger landslide, and the last process is the alert through the sensors located in the crown of the wall, which will send a visual and audible alert of a massive landslide meters before the landslide.The design of the proposed system provides an alternative of safety against landslides with a methodology that couples the already existing retaining walls or new projects with the addition of the proposed system for road infrastructures with the purpose of preventing damage events through the alert and it is expected that in future research the proposed design can be improved.
