- Abstract
Slope monitoring is an essential component of Opencast mining operations for workmen’s safety and uninterrupted production. Slope failure incidents in the recent past remind the crucial significance of implementing effective slope monitoring protocols. Continuous increase in demand for mineral production impels the mining industry to deploy steeper and deeper opencast mines that ultimately result in making working conditions unsafe, on the other hand mitigating the associated risks entails increased production costs. Popular slope monitoring techniques such as Slope Stability Radar (SSR), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Global positioning system (GPS) are quite expensive while Wireless sensor networks (WSN) equipped with Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors accomplish better results by enabling real-time slope data analysis at low cost. Cloud computing platforms, such as ThingSpeak, provide real-time data analysis, an email alert system compatible with early warning alerts and a user-friendly interface with convenient customization free of cost. This paper reviews the sensors, micro-computers, data communication systems and data analysis methods employed in real-time slope monitoring across multiple research studies.
