Development a Prototype of Water Level Alert System on Geographic Map Combined with The Internet of Things

Abstract

The objectives of this research are: 1) to analyze, design and develop a prototype of water level alert system on geographic map combined with the internet of things, and 2) to determine the effectiveness of the development of a prototype of water level alert system on geographic map combined with the internet of things. The research tools consisted of experimental tool and data collecting tool. Experimental tool is a prototype of water level alert system on geographic map combined with the internet of things developed with C/C++, HTML, PHP, connecting to MySQL database. Data collecting tool is system efficiency evaluation form. Research methodology can be classified into 5 steps: 1) problem and requirement analysis, 2) system design, 3) system development, 4) system testing, and 5) system evaluation by three purposively selected experts. The findings from this research are: 1) a prototype of water level alert system on geographic map combined with the internet of things can be performed well, able to measure the change in water level at each time interval, able to notify the water level values via the web application or via LINE application, in order to be able to know the water level and be able to prepare in time when flooding occurs, latitude and longitude are determined on the nakhon pathom province map and can view the water level in that location on the geographic map, and 2) the efficiency of the proposed system evaluated by three experts is in highest level (x =4.51, S.D.=0.53).
