Implementación de un prototipo de sistema de alerta por detección de eventos sísmico.

Abstract

The present degree project, "Implementation of an alert system prototype for seismic event detection", is composed of an Arduino Uno, a SW-420 sensor, a SIM800L card and a StepDown regulator XL4025 XL77; these electronic components are integrated within an acrylic box. The purpose of the system is to warn users about the occurrence of a seismic event, by sending an SMS message to their cell phones. This document has six sections. The first part presents the problem that consists in the little or no perception that people have when there is a telluric movement; the general functioning of the prototype is also explained. In addition, the objectives, the scope and the most relevant fundamentals with respect to the implemented hardware are presented. The second section contains the methodology used to achieve each objective. In the third section called results, the process carried out that began with the determination of the requirements is specified, then the investigation and acquisition of the equipment to be used is evidenced. In addition, the system design, calculations for the resistors and the operating specifications of the sensor and regulator are included; likewise, the implementation addresses the creation of the board, the power system, the programming and the integration of all the components in the chassis. Finally, the operation tests were carried out and videos of both the prototype's operability check and the user manual were added. In the fourth and fifth sections, conclusions and recommendations, the processes carried out were synthesized, which were identification of the problem, establishment of requirements, research of hardware elements, design and implementation of the prototype and finally the verification of operation. In addition, in the annexes are presented the Turnitin and operating certificates and the programming code.
