Implementación de una mini-red de sensores inalámbricos para detección temprana de incendios forestales utilizando hardware y software open source

Abstract

In the present work, the implementation of a mini network of wireless sensors for the early detection of forest fires is realized. The prototype alerts immediately the occurrence of a forest fire avoiding the loss of extensive wooded areas, and affections to the health of inhabitants surrounding the damaged areas. The prototype is composed of 2 Sensory Nodes that are responsible for the acquisition of environment variables, processing and sending information every time an established threshold is exceeded and Coordinator Node that processes and stores the information in a cloud server, this device is also responsible for sending alert messages. A visualization subsystem help the user discriminate visually the presence of a forest fire and subsequently give notice to combat and relief units. The functional tests were carried out under controlled fire situations, determining the maximum range between devices and possible limitations of the prototype
