Remote Avalanche Warning-, Alarm- and Control Systems, Fundamentals, Applications and Experience

چکیده
Today, temporary measures to improve avalanche safety often depend on remote measurements by automatic stations. The snow profile radar allows for direct measurements of snow accumulation, settling, fracture height and water percolation within avalanche release zones. Alarm stations automatically recognize avalanche flow and close traffic lines. Remote avalanche control by Wyssen exploders, profile radar and seismometer reduce the residual risk for avalanche accidents by applying the method of artificial avalanche release. All systems are based on identical technology and can be inferred from control-room computers having the necessary software including access and security codes installed.

متن کاملAlarm effectiveness in driver-centred collision-warning systems.
The potential use of systems that seek to communicate a warning of impending collision directly to the driver is examined. Technological advances in collision-warning systems include reliable, low-cost radars, sensors with low noise levels, and the development of accurate detection algorithms for particular crash types, e.g. rear-end collisions. However, fundamental practical constraints make p...
