Abstract

Forest fires are a regular occurrence throughout the year with an increasing intensity in the summer and fall periods. Forest fires pose a significant threat to ecosystems, property and human lives. Early detection and rapid response are critical to mitigate the devastating effects of these fires. This article presents a Long Range (LoRa) Alert Network System designed for the early prediction and timely notification of forest fires. The system leverages LoRa technology to create a robust and cost-effective wireless communication network in remote forested areas. These fires primarily stem from various natural and environmental phenomena and natural disasters. The timely dissemination of forest fire alerts was hampered, resulting in delays in fire management. In order to address this issue, efforts were made to enhance the capability for prompt forest fire detection. The challenges predominantly revolve around forested regions where data communication infrastructure is deficient. In the event of a forest fire, there exists a network barrier that impedes information transmission. Consequently, forest fire detection systems leveraging Mesh LoRa networks and image processing networks have been devised. An integrated module within the LoRa/GPS HAT has been explored as a potential solution to the fire predicament. The Flame Sensor Module, functioning as a fire detection sensor component, and the LoRa/GPS HAT, serving as a hardware medium for radio frequency data transmission communication, have been employed. The interconnection of these devices within a network facilitates the development of a prototype fire detection system. Combining a Flame Sensor Module with a LoRa/GPS HAT is indeed a viable approach to creating a prototype fire detection and alert system. By combining the Flame Sensor Module with the LoRa/GPS HAT, a scalable and cost-effective fire detection and alert system appropriate for distant and wooded locations with limited traditional communication infrastructure is created. This system can play a crucial role in early fire detection, potentially reducing the severity of forest fires and protecting both natural resources and human lives.
用于森林火灾预测的远程(LoRa)和警报网络系统
森林火灾一年四季经常发生,夏秋两季的强度不断增加。森林火灾对生态系统、财产和人类生命构成重大威胁。早期探测和快速反应对于减轻火灾的破坏性影响至关重要。本文介绍的远程(LoRa)警报网络系统旨在对森林火灾进行早期预测和及时通知。该系统利用 LoRa 技术在偏远林区创建了一个强大且经济高效的无线通信网络。这些火灾主要源于各种自然和环境现象以及自然灾害。森林火灾警报的及时发布受到阻碍,导致火灾管理延误。为了解决这一问题,我们努力提高及时发现森林火灾的能力。挑战主要围绕数据通信基础设施不足的森林地区。一旦发生森林火灾,网络障碍就会阻碍信息传输。因此,人们设计了利用网状 LoRa 网络和图像处理网络的森林火灾探测系统。LoRa/GPS HAT 中的一个集成模块被视为解决火灾困境的潜在方案。火焰传感器模块是火灾探测传感器组件,LoRa/GPS HAT 是射频数据传输通信的硬件媒介。这些设备在网络中的相互连接促进了火灾探测系统原型的开发。将火焰传感器模块与 LoRa/GPS HAT 相结合的确是创建原型火灾探测和警报系统的可行方法。通过将火焰传感器模块与 LoRa/GPS HAT 相结合,可以创建一个可扩展且经济高效的火灾探测和警报系统,适用于传统通信基础设施有限的偏远地区和林区。该系统可在早期火灾探测中发挥关键作用,有可能降低森林火灾的严重程度,保护自然资源和人类生命。

期刊介绍: Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
