Abstract
Flood disaster is the most common yet dangerous natural disaster in Malaysia. Lots of early flood warning systems have been developed recently to alert the public. However, there are less researchers focused on the analysis of the time response of delivering the alert message. In this project, an accurate, low-cost and real-time flood alert system is developed. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the water level and interfaced with the Raspberry Pi for sensing and transmitting the alert message to the user through smartphone’s application, which is Telegram messenger. The time response for delivering the alert message is calculated through software programming. The accuracy and effectiveness of this system is demonstrated by the results of the experiments. In addition, this research mainly emphasized on improving the time taken between sensing and sending the alert message through different types of programing techniques, which are structured programming technique and event-driven programming technique. The result is then compared and analyzed in this report. Moreover, a custom designed of mobile application is developed via Blynk apps for monitoring purpose. The reliability and robustness test of the apps are conducted as well. It is believed that many lives could be saved with the implementation of this system by improving the time response for sensing and delivering the alert message with the presence of internet.
