Abstract
Real Time Flood Disaster Early Warning System (RTFDEWS) consists of hardware and software. Hardware
consists of a water level sensor, Instrumentation Box consisting of a signal amplifier and a minimum set of ATmega
system with a 8535 series controller. Other hardwares are a radio modem and Handheld Transceiver (HT) as a radio
communication module. With this communication module river water height level data is sent to the Server Computer.
The Server Computer serves as the Web Server and SMS Server. So that every time the data acquisition process
can be displayed in real-time and online via the web. And these data also can be accessed using cellular networks. This
server also completed by prediction software based on neuro-fuzzy algorithm. This system is given the flood data for
years ago, in order to have the ability to predict flooding in the future. Further data and predictions of the acquisition
of these data can be monitored by the user Officer, and General Users around the world, uses the internet medium and
cellular networks.
Keywords: RTFDEWS, web server, sms server, neuro-fuzzy.

1 INTRODUCTION 4. Setting up a server, and implement and conduct

There are 13 (thirteen) spot along the river floods trials RTFDEWS online. Tests carried out on one
in the district Bengawan Solo East Java Province, stream in the village of surgery, Lamongan, East
issued by the Department of Irrigation. If rain is on the Java Province system with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy
high frequensi, administration and its board to guard Inference System (ANFIS) structure.
against potential flooding arising from Bengawan Solo
River. Considering the impact of flood hazards on the
damage and great loss of potential of the region, it
takes a system that can be used to predict floods, and
make detection and early warning flood will occur.
Therefore in this research, proposed a system of
sensors and instrumentation equipment based computer
that can be used for high stream flow data acquisition.
River height data further informed to the portal.
Information about flood also can be published widely.
In addition this system can also be used to predict
floods, by the inclusion of data in previous years flood.
Prediction method of algorithm that is used neuro-
fuzzy system with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference
System (ANFIS) structure.

2 METHODOLOGY
In this research activities include:
1. Getting a Model or System Architecture for Real
Time Flood Disaster Early Warning System
(RTFDEWS).
2. Realize the model into the real world, by making a
series of Hardware and software. The software
consists of two kinds, namely desktop-based
software for data acquisition, and web-based
software.
3. Implement and Test Data Acquisition.
Figure 1. System Architecture
The workings of the system above we can describe
as follows. Water level sensor in the form of ultrasonic
sensors installed in flood-prone river. These sensors are
connected with Instrumentation Box consisting of a
signal amplifier circuit and a minimum range of 8535
ATmega system that is used as a series of controllers.

Next use the radio modem and HT as the radio

communication module. With this communications
module river height data is sent to a computer via a
data processing circuit and the receiver of the modem
circuit mounted in server. Further readings river height
data is stored in a database each time the unit or
process data acquisition using a Server Computer.
Server computer to function as a Web Server and
SMS Server. So every time the data acquisition process
can be displayed in real-time and online via the web.
And these data can be accessed using cellular networks.
The server computer also includes software Prediction
System with Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm in addition to
online data acquisition process. This system can also
be given the data flood years ago, in order to have
predictive ability of floods in the future. Furthermore,
the data predicted results and the results of data
acquisition can be monitored by User Officer, and
General Users around the world, uses the Internet
infrastructure and mobile networks
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The results of this research in the form of
hardware and software equipment systems monitoring
floods can be described as follows:
1.Receiver circuit is connected to a computer serial port
can be viewed as shown below.

HT associated with a microcontroller with the cable
provided. Power supply needed to power the system
and modem minimum circuit.
On Saturday November 21, 2009, has successfully
conducted trials in a stream of data retrieval Solo River
in the village of surgery Tripe Lamongan District of
East Java Province.
Water level sensor in the form of ultrasonic
sensors installed in flood-prone river. These sensors are
connected with Instrumentation Box consisting of a
signal amplifier circuit and a minimum range of 8535
ATmega system that is used as a series of controllers.
Next use the radio modem and HT as the radio
communication module. With this communications
module river height data is sent to a computer via a
data processing circuit and the receiver of the modem
circuit mounted in server.
Server Computer in this trial are placed in the
Office of Village Head surgery Tripe Lamongan
District of East Java Province, which lies
approximately 300 meters from the banks of river Solo.
Although radio communications in these systems in a
design capable of up to a distance of 2 km. Here is the
display of images when testing equipment for data
retrieval

Figure 2. Hardware connected to the computer

system

Signs PKR, MIC, GND on the PCB is connected to the

HT with a cable that has been available. Signs TX, RX,
GND is connected to the serial port on the computer
with the supplied cable. Then connected the power
supply to the available power supply.

2.The series of flood watch and sending data to the

receiving computer can be seen in the picture below.

Figure 5. Examples of river water level readings
For data acquisition, at least get information about the
case of Guardhouse Name, Name of River being
monitored, Date and Time data acquisition, status or
condition of the river (normal, idle 1 and so on), High
