Popis: This paper presents an in-house developed low-cost triggering design using wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes. A set of corresponding microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) are used along with a radio transmission unit and a microprocessor. In conjunction with the WSN, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) measurements are used. Specifically, the aim of this work is to introduce a low-cost WSN node with verified repeatability that will raise an initial signal for possible slope change which will be further verified by TLS measurements. The paper demonstrates the deployment of the developed design for a 3-month period in the Corinth Canal in Greece and presents indicative results.
