Forest Fire Monitoring System Based On ZIG-BEE Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used for various applications such as habitat monitoring, automation, agriculture, and security. Since numerous sensors are usually deployed on remote and inaccessible places, the deployment and maintenance should be easy and scalable. Wireless sensor network consists of large number of small nodes. The nodes then sense environmental changes and report them to other nodes over flexible network architecture. Sensor nodes are great for deployment in hostile environments or over large geographical areas. This article presents the design of a system for detection of temperature and humidity and smoke for the prevention of forest fires using wireless sensor networks to prevent a disaster (forest fire) that could lead to loss of a significant number of natural resources. In this project, several tests had been conducted in order to prove the viability of the system. Test results indicated that the reliability of the system in propagating information directly to the base station could be gained excellently in various conditions.
