Avalanche Risk Estimation Automat System

Abstract

This work comes to the aid of free ride skiers as well as people traveling through the mountains. It can help them know if they are exposed to an avalanche. Our system can detect an avalanche in its infancy or offer the possibility to find out if in that area, under the action of an external mechanical force such as the passage of a skier, snowboarder, a group of people or another force (e.g. pressure caused by waves sound) is likely to trigger an avalanche. The system is designed to send a text message to the mountain rescuer or the competent authorities with GPS coordinates. The system is implemented on a ski stick so that it can be accessible to any skier and not have to take other devices or utensils with him. Further development of our system is mentioned in the last chapter of this article.
