Abstract
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is used in various applications such as area monitoring, healthcare monitoring, industrial and environmental monitoring and so on. Spatially dispersing various sensors and creating a network for knowing the physical conditions of the environment is known as WSN. In this paper, WSN is created for monitoring the environment in hill areas for detecting the various abnormalities such as forest fire, deforestation and landslides. Long Range (LoRa) low power wireless technology and sensors for monitoring forest fire, deforestation and landslides are used in WSN. The data collected in the central point is processed for further evaluation and alerts the authorities through SMS and internet. Global System for Mobile (GSM) Communication modem with Global Packet Radio System (GPRS) enabled SIM card is used for enabling internet service for the central data collecting unit. The system is powered from battery which is recharged by electrical energy converted from solar energy using solar panel.
Highlights
The average annual temperature of the earth surface increases every year
Solar energy operated Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is designed with various sensors, Arduino mega 2560 and Long Range (LoRa) wireless transceiver
The device for hill areas environmental conditions monitoring is designed with 3 sensor nodes and 1 gateway unit
Summary
The average annual temperature of the earth surface increases every year. This phenomenon is known as global warming. Deforestation and forest degradation are responsible for around 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions [2] and contributes to global warming [3]. Technology based solutions will helps to monitor and control deforestation and forest fire. Developments in wireless technology make it possible to form a wireless network for real time monitoring of environmental conditions. Huge amount of data will be transferred from sensor network to data repository and these data will give information about the environment. Monitoring system for a glacial environment has been developed in the Envisense Glacs Web project for getting valuable information about the global warming and climate change [4]
