Wireless Sensor Network for Forest Fire Detection and Decision Making

ISSN: 2319-1120 /V2N3: 299-309 © IJAEST Abstract— Wireless sensor network technologies normally deploy a large number of small, low cost sensors, fairly densely that can observe and influence the physical world around them by gathering physical information, transform it into electrical signals, send it to a remote location to do some analysis and deploy the results in different applications. This means there is no need to build towers or set up complicated communication links such as; microwave and satellite. It can be deployed anywhere, even in inaccessible places. This technology can provide a real time monitoring for forest fire, where it can provide information at the ignition instance or at very small delay, depends on the node used wake up/sleep schedule. It’s more reliable because it can influence the world in the surrounded area, if it is used in appropriate methods, rather than expecting events over large distances and long delay like other satellite and camera towers techniques.
