Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) System: System Architecture, Data Modelling, and User Interface Design

Abstract

Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs) development is essential to provide service to stakeholders and the public. The service is the information access regarding the information on the earthquake source area and its impact on the surrounding environment. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review of peer-published studies focusing on the development of earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs). The method of systematic review is well-established in research by Kitchenham et al. (2005). It is used to analyze the literature and answer defined research questions systematically. We found 16 papers related to system architecture, data modelling and user interface design of Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs) published in 2009-2020. Research that discusses data modelling is 6%, the user interface design is 38%, and system architecture is 56%. Overall, our findings show that the system architecture, data modelling and user interface of the development of Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs) in several countries have significant similarities. It can be modelled as a framework for the development of Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWSs).
