Where Environmental Care Meets Innovation
Welcome to the documentation for the Forest Fire Monitoring and Alert System. This system combines satellite-derived environmental data, machine learning (ML) predictions, and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to provide real-time forest fire monitoring, risk assessment, and immediate alert notifications.
- Key Features
- Environmental Data Processing
- IoT Sensors Implementation
- Alert Notification System
- Sequence Flow: User Engagement and Alert Notification
- Conclusion
- Input Data: Satellite-derived data including oxygen levels, humidity, and temperature.
- Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a forest fire based on the environmental variables.
- Sensor Deployment: Install IoT sensors strategically in fire-prone areas.
- Data Collection: Sensors continuously monitor on-ground conditions.
- Immediate Alerts: If the ML model predicts a high risk of fire or if an actual fire is detected by sensors, immediate alerts are sent.
- Notification Channels: Alerts are sent to nearby residents via mobile apps, SMS, and other communication channels.
The system utilizes satellite-derived environmental data, including oxygen levels, humidity, and temperature. This data serves as input for the ML model.
A robust ML model analyzes the environmental data to predict the likelihood of a forest fire. This model is trained on historical data to enhance predictive accuracy.
IoT sensors are strategically deployed in areas identified as high-risk based on the ML predictions. These sensors continuously monitor on-ground conditions.
The sensors collect real-time data on environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels. In case of a significant change, the sensors trigger alerts.
- ML Prediction Alerts: If the ML model predicts a high likelihood of a forest fire based on satellite data, immediate alerts are generated.
- Sensor Detection Alerts: When on-ground sensors detect an actual fire, immediate alerts are triggered.
Residents in the affected areas receive alerts through various channels:
- Mobile Apps: A dedicated mobile app provides real-time alerts.
- User opens the Forest Fire Monitoring App or visits the website.
- No login is required for basic functionalities.
- First-time Location Access:
- If it's the user's first time accessing the app, the system requests permission to access the device's location.
- Upon user approval, the app captures the user's location coordinates.
- Home Screen:
- The user is directed to the home screen displaying a map interface.
- View Fire-Prone Areas:
- The map highlights areas prone to fire based on satellite data and ML predictions.
- Users can explore fire-prone regions without additional features.
- Live Fire Display:
- The map also shows live fire locations in real-time, if available.
- Continuous Location Tracking:
- The app continuously tracks the user's location in the background.
- Proximity Alert:
- If the user's location is within a specified proximity to a live fire (configurable distance), an immediate alert is triggered.
- Custom Alerts:
- Users can set custom alert preferences based on different fire risk levels.
- Educational Resources:
- Access to educational resources on fire prevention, safety measures, and evacuation plans.
- Emergency Contacts:
- Emergency contact information is readily available.
- Crowdfunding for NGOs:
- Users can contribute to NGOs involved in forest fire prevention and control.
The Forest Fire Monitoring and Alert System seamlessly integrate satellite-derived data, machine learning, and IoT sensors to enhance forest fire prevention and response efforts. By providing accurate predictions and real-time alerts, the system contributes to early detection, minimizing the impact of forest fires on communities and the environment.
