IMU (inertial measurement unit) device for internet of things based disaster early warning system: Applications and innovation

The various natural disasters which happen in this world push us to develop an integrated and thorough natural disaster prevention system. In an era full of technologies, accessing data become much easier that it has become probable to decrease the loss caused by natural disaster. The internet of things has powerful role in increasing the prevention of natural disaster. Also, the application of inertial measurement unit has been promoted as universal component that can serve as a tool to monitor the parameters of a natural disaster. This is some examples of several applications of IMU device in general uses and in disaster related uses. This paper serve as a way to develop new ideas about IoT based IMU device, which can be a pillar in developing a disaster responsive society. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
