Abstract
Forests are an important component in the ecosystem. Due to natural and human interventions, these forests can get destroyed. Forest fires are such cause where unimaginable damage to the eco system, and property is inflicted. Therefore, early detection and extinguishing such fires would be a benefit. This report presents such a detection and extinguishing system that uses wireless sensor network to predict and detect forest fires and an automated robot system to extinguish such fires.
Wireless sensor nodes with temperature sensors, humidity sensors, pressure sensors, CO2 sensors and LoRa module are distributed in a 2m×2m size grid and data obtained by that system is used to train an artificial neural network to classify if a fire is present in that particular grid or not. Construction and the operation of this sensor network is explained in this report.
Furthermore, the design and the evaluation of the ground robot used for extinguishing the forest fire is presented and an experiment conducted to validate the system is introduced. SRC/Grant Close/2019/V1 The sensor network can classify a fire starting in one of its grids with about 65% accuracy and the automated robot has the ability to extinguish such a fire.
