Abstract
Environmental data plays an important role in
forecasting and warning of possible natural disaster such as
flooding. Thailand faced a major flood in 2011, which at that
time lacks automated mechanism in collecting environmental
data and warning system. This work presents the design and
development of a flood warning system. The system contains an
embedded data acquisition module that can be placed in a remote
area in order to collect environmental data such as amount of
rainfall, water level, and image periodically. The collected data
are then sent to a server over the Internet via a cellular data
network, which are stored on a database and processed to
determine early warning of flood in the area based on historical
data. A web application and a mobile application have been
designed and developed for users to view measured data.
Moreover, the mobile application is capable of receiving a push
notification of a warning message of potential flooding.
