Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent slope stability monitoring and early warning system for real-time prediction of a Factor of Safety (FoS) of carbonate residual-soil slopes. The system acquires slope height, slope angle, residual soil depth, soil water content and soil fine content using field sensors and site- characterization data, without requiring cohesion or friction-angle values as deployment-stage inputs. The acquired parameters are processed by an edge-based prediction engine comprising a plurality of differently configured machine-learning and deep-learning models trained using field investigations, laboratory characterization and numerical slope-stability models. Predictions from the models are combined through a meta-learning framework to determine a resultant FoS and classify the slope into safe, warning or critical stability zones. The system further provides explainable warnings identifying dominant parameters contributing to instability and communicates slope status to a central digital-twin platform for continuous monitoring, temporal assessment and adaptive slope-risk management.
