Abstract:

In order to make a forest fire monitoring process run automatically, intellectually, a real-time monitoring system of forest fire prevention based on wireless sensor networks was proposed. The monitoring system was composed of two parts: wireless sensor monitoring networks and control center, and it could acquire detailed information of forest weather and fire environment in time, on-line and accurately, with advantages of flexible arrangement, convenient maintenance, reasonable price and nice expansibility. The introduction of mobile node further strengthened firemen’s safty and the system’s reliability. The system, used in forest fire prevention which was with features of complicated situations and demanding real-time, could improve efficiency of disaster relief and could reduce casualties as well as property losses caused by fire.
