IOT Based Forest Fire Detection System Using Arduino Nano

Image
Abstract  Forest fires are common hazards in forests in summer when the vegetation is dry and flammable that affect the local Wildlife as well as the Environment and in general the entire eco system around it. However, the damage impact could be reduced if a robust system could be deployed in forest areas to detect the fire and alert to Fire extinguishing authority to take immediate action in case of a fire. In this project, the intention is to build a Forest fire detection system using IoT (specifically from thingspeak.com) which would detect the fire and send an emergency alert to Authority through IoT through real time data collection. Here a GSM/GPRS module is used to communicate with IoT sever. Since forests are generally remote areas and protected by the government, the availability of network signals is close to non-existent with only basic 2G connectivity at most. Hence a 2G network is preferable to communicate with the server and would also help in reducing costs for poten...

Automatic Street Light Controller

Image
ABSTRACT : An automatic street light controller circuit can switch on and off a street light at the exact time the light intensity of an area reduces and is unique to the particular location relying solely on light intensity rather than manual operation or timer based systems INTRODUCTION:  Generally, as it gets dark outside towards the end of the day, there exists a need to have street lights switch on as soon as the visibility drops to prevent accidents and safety of the pedestrians. The problem with street lights around us is that they are either manual or clock based, both of which have major flaws towards electrical efficiency and reliability. In case of manual operation human error is a big concern and in case of timer based system efficiency is lost as the time of sun set is not the same throughout the year due to seasonal and daily weather conditions. In an attempt to overcome this conflict, we propose the following automatic street light controller circuit using relay and ...
