Investigating the potential of the Internet of Things Things Based on Fog Computing, on the design and creation of an earthquake detection, warning and response system

Purpose and context: One of the effective solutions to predict, detection and declaration of crisis as well as automated actions following each of the mentioned functions, is the use of rapid alert systems. The objective of this paper is to consider the Internet of Things technology and introducing the best current architecture of this technology called "Fog Computing Architecture" as a tool to install and supporting warning and immediate reaction systems in the field of seismography.
This study is based on 5years experiences of researches in the field of internet of things as well as library-based methodology. More than 40 articles have been studied and 15 cases were selected in order to write the article. By compiling the results and studied papers make a new perceive in internet of things architecture based on fog computing to create and supporting the detection, warning and immediate response to earthquake. Thus, the result presented as a local and conceptual model in order to design, install and execute an immediate alert system of earthquake in findings.
Findings: The results of studying the articles show that Internet of things technology based on Fog computing has the ability to create a system of detection, warning and immediate response in seismography and the system capacity to support different process cycles. Therefore the successful projects in countries such as Japan, Mexico, America, etc. were choose as a model in order to answer the questions and meet the objectives set out in this study, vernacular proposed architecture is provided in three layers based on Internet of things (IoT) architecture introduced by Cisco and its implementation pattern was discussed.
It is almost safe to say that none of earthquake zones in Iran, is equipped with a detection, warning or immediate response earthquake system and only a limited number of academic projects has been done in this regard. Considering the fact that 80 percent of Iranian cities are at risk of earthquakes and almost 28 percent of the population live in these high-risk areas, designing, developing and supporting of the earthquake early warning and response system with utilizing flexible tools, such as the Internet of Things, to support the cycle of crisis management and preparedness of cities, especially metropolises is felt; So that in the future irreparable human and financial losses by the disasters such as the earthquake in Rudbar, Bam and Kermanshah shall not be experienced again.
