    Development of a MEMS-based Earthquake Dataset using the Raspberry Shake Network in New Zealand
    (Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, 2026-05-21) Samiha, T.Z; Ravishan, D
    Traditional seismic monitoring is often limited by the high cost of instrumentation and logistical barriers, hindering the expansion of earthquake monitoring networks especially in under-resourced regions. Low-cost MEMS-based sensors offer a scalable alternative, but require specialized datasets to train machine learning models adapted to their unique noise characteristics and sensitivity profiles. To address this, we systematically collected waveforms from approximately 4,000 earthquakes (magnitude 2.7 to the highest recorded) recorded across 89 Raspberry Shake stations in New Zealand from 2020–2025. Events were matched to nearby stations based on epicentral distance criteria (100 km for M 2.7–5.5, 150 km for M>5.5). A staged filtering pipeline using PhaseNet, EQTransformer, and GPD models, cross-validated with theoretical TauP arrivals, was applied to ensure phase pick quality across three confidence tiers. The final curated dataset comprises 918 high-confidence waveforms with validated P and S wave arrivals, alongside approximately 16,035 total waveform records spanning all quality tiers. This dataset addresses the critical scarcity of labeled training data for low-cost seismic instrumentation, enabling the development of phase pickers specifically calibrated for MEMS sensors.

    An Intelligent Risk Aware Navigation Framework for Accident Hotspot Prediction, Real-Time Traffic Analysis, and Safety-Oriented Route Planning
    (Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, 2026-05-21) Rathnapala, A; Seneviratne, O
    Road traffic accidents remain a major public safety issue, particularly in urban regions where increasing traffic density and complex road environments contribute to higher accident risk. Existing navigation systems primarily optimize routes based on travel time or distance, without considering accident risk, which can expose drivers to unsafe road segments. This study proposes an intelligent risk-aware navigation framework that integrates accident hotspot prediction with real-time traffic analysis for safety-oriented route planning. A supervised machine learning model was trained using historical accident records obtained from Sri Lanka Police data to estimate accident risk levels across road segments. These risk scores are combined with real-time traffic information retrieved from mapping services to evaluate alternative routes based on both safety and travel efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an accuracy of 0.93 in predicting accident risk levels. Furthermore, the system is able to recommend routes that reduce exposure to accident-prone areas while maintaining acceptable travel time. A mobile prototype was developed to visualize accident hotspots and provide safer route commendations. The results demonstrate that integrating predictive accident analytics with real-time traffic information can significantly enhance navigation systems by enabling safety-aware decision-making and improving overall road safety

    Smart-Camp Box: An Integrated IoT and Artificial Intelligence Framework for Safety, Communication, Learning Assistance, and Resource Optimization in Disaster Relief Camps
    (Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, 2026-05-21) Kashmira S S; Hansana G P; Deerasinghe A D S N S; Jayakody, A; Lokuliyana, S
    Natural disasters continue to inflict devastating consequences on communities across South Asia, with Sri Lanka ranking among the most frequently affected nations in the region. When disasters strike, temporary relief camps serve as critical shelters for displaced populations; however, existing systems fail to address three persistent operational challenges simultaneously: camp-level flood and landslide prediction, psychological and attentional readiness assessment for displaced children, and resilient communication under degraded network conditions. This paper presents the Smart Camp Box, an integrated, portable IoT-based framework that addresses all three dimensions through tightly coupled sub-systems. The first sub-system provides location-aware environmental risk monitoring using GPS/GNSS, IoT sensors, DEM integration, and a machine learning prediction model. The second introduces the Psycho-Attentional Gated Educational System (PAGES), an offline-first application for assessing and supporting displaced children's cognitive readiness. The third proposes a Semantic-Aware Adaptive Message Prioritization (SAAMP) framework for reliable MQTT communication under constrained network environments. Currently in active development, the Smart Camp Box represents a paradigm shift toward proac
