Abstract
The slopes along the railway lines occasionally get complex kinds of disaster on the natural slope due to raining. However, systematization using IT has been difficult because of high cost with the vast area and the lack of communication convenience. This study shows the proposal and the result of monitoring system for railway slope disaster prevention making use of the recent IT. This enables the complement for manual inspection, stable watching for the slope until completing the countermeasure and the detection of disaster on crucial slopes. This consists on the cheap and multipurpose equipments, such as a simple detection sensor, alarm sender and receiver, and spectrum spread wireless transfer system which is usable to send animations and data. This has been already introduced on a part of the slopes along the Tokaido Shinkansen and the old railroad lines. This is expected to complement the lack of engineer caused by less birth in the future.
