Forest Fire Detection System based on Wireless Sensor Network Vel Pratheesh Sankar #
Overview Forest is one of the most indispensable resource Causes of forest fire: Natural Uncontrolled human behavior Occurs occasionally, but recently the due to climatic fluctuations and human activities there is a increased risk
Conventional Methods Ground patrolling Watching tower Aerial prevention
Forest fire detection using WSN
Data flow Sensor nodes Base station Network coordinators “Data Transmitted in a multi-hop manner”
Data flow Data is not transmitted by every node to the base station, rather is aggregated and is transmitted through few nodes This is done to optimize the energy consumption
Prediction Spread of forest fire is strongly related to weather conditions, terrain, vegetation etc Proper prediction model is selected to estimate the spread
