title = "Rockfall monitoring system for improving road safety",
abstract = "Rockfall incidents that may lead to road closure, infrastructure damage and loss of human life are common in European highways and mountainous roads. The {"}ISTRIA{"} research project aims to establish a low-cost rock-fall monitoring and warning system based on a variety of multidisciplinary sensors and instruments. This paper presents the setup and preliminary results of several experiments conducted to evaluate the performance of geophones to capture low energy ground vibrations caused by small rock free fall. It was determined that geophones have the potential to be used as monitoring sensors for rock-fall identification. Moreover, the empirical equations that were utilized to optimize geophone spacing yielded promising results.",
