Forest Guardian

Forest Guardian

Environmental Sensing with Artificial Intelligence

Forest Fire Guardian uses gas sensors and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and integrated high-linearity and high-accuracy pressure, humidity, and temperature sensors. This gas sensor can detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), and other gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the part per billion (ppb) range.

Fire Weather Index

The FWI System is one of North America's most comprehensive forest fire danger rating systems, and it is backed by several decades of forestry research. The FWI System comprises six components: three fuel codes and three fire indexes. The three fuel codes represent the moisture content of the organic soil layers of the forest floor, whereas the three fire indexes describe the fire behavior. By analyzing data collected from forestry research, the FWI System can be used to meet the goals of a wireless sensor network designed for forest fire detection. This system can provide various degrees of coverage for different forest areas. It thus can achieve higher detection accuracy in important areas such as near residential or industrial neighborhoods. The system is managed via a secure website. Sensors' locations are overlaid on a satellite image and shown as a small balloon icon. Clicking on the balloon icon shows the sensor's last readings, date, time, and location.

Wireless Sensors

FWI

Sensors wake up every 5 minutes and take readings, Temperature, Humidity, Smoke, and Light reading. The data is routed via a wireless sensor network to a central point connected to the internet. This information is then analyzed and recorded on our website. When any sensor detects extreme conditions, an email and text notification is sent out. The notification message displays the GPS coordinates of the sensor's location, allowing firefighting crews to pinpoint the location of any forest fires quickly.
