Prediction and Prevention of Wildfires
of the forest survellience , the decision needs to be performed on an immediate basis for avoiding widespread fire in the forest .
The solution uses LoRa 24 and edge gateway node for monitoring the environmental parameter of a forest . IoT edge gateway is based on edge computing where it is capable of performing analytics at the gateway node . This gateway node after , providing the analytics , transmits the valid information to the cloud server ( s ). LoRA Networks are used for UAVs as well as IoT device implementation . Widely used technical specifications 25 are available .
