Smart Gas Outflow Detection and Safety Circumstance System Using Cloud Technology

Abstract

<p>The project aim is to design and develop a cloud connected smart LPG gas cylinder platform, acting as a safety device for detecting LPG gas drip at minimum levels to avoid any credible incidents. It is also capable of detect fire exists in the area and level of the gas in order to provide real time monitoring and alert over Cloud server. If an aberrant condition is detected, the device gives an alert to the smartphone app of the user and also sends an alert e-mail to other authorities. In addition to this upon detecting a gas leakage or a fire breakout, the device automatically takes safety precautionary measures, like gas valve closing, ventilation opening, fire sprinkler activation and home electrical power supply cut-off. The device connects to the internet via Wi-Fi and thus increasing the mobility of the platform within the premises of the house. A Wi-Fi capable ARM Cortex-M4 Launchpad is used to execute the system. This device proposes a complete, low-cost, powerful and accessible way of real-time tracking and distant control of gas leakages and preventive mechanisms in household and industrial areas.</p>
