Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become one of the most important aspects for environmental monitoring, i.e. wildfire monitoring, Landslide detection and many others. Many wildfires causes massive forest damages every year in different parts of the world. This paper presents an effective approach based on wireless sensor network to identify and monitor wild fires in forest. The proposed work presents an intelligent system that provides early warning of potential forest fires as well as to provide an effective evaluation of fire scale and fire intensity. The main objectives of the proposed intelligent sensor based network is to measure the environmental attributes such as temperature (t), relative humidity (h); rain (r) and wind speed (WS) etc. The data of these parameters are acquired via wireless sensor network from different geographical locations and transfer to third party application for processing. The research presented the conceptual framework to intelligently estimate “scale and intensity” of the forest fires. The proposed system is effective and reliable to identify and monitor forest fires. It can easily be integrated with third party applications.
