AI-Driven Wildfire Suppression System Leveraging IoT and Drone Technology | Chapter 4 | Science and Technology - Recent Updates and Future Prospects Vol. 8

 

The wildfire is the most alarming threat to ecosystems, whether human-made or natural. Unfortunately, fires destroy many hectares of forest area each year due to late and ineffective fire detection. It is crucial to detect forest fires early to prevent them from spreading widely and harming the environment. Many research has been conducted in this field, but effective fire detection and reduction remain a challenge. The proposed system aims to address this challenge by developing a firefighting machine using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Currently, it is undergoing field trials. The primary objective of this machine is to generate artificial rain through drones equipped with sodium bicarbonate. This process aims to seed clouds and produce rain droplets to mitigate fire outbreaks. Data collection is automated, with information being captured and stored in a cloud-based system via the IoT. Images of both fire and normal conditions are collected and used to train AI models for wildfire detection. TensorFlow is utilized to support drone operations in this process. The IoT cloud platform, Thing Speak, is chosen for its efficiency and reliability in managing data modules. The stored data in the cloud is crucial for training AI models effectively, enabling accurate wildfire detection and timely response. The designed AI and IoT-enabled drones can accurately detect fires and deploy artificial rain to suppress them immediately.

LoRa IoT Network for Instant Forest Fire Detection and Alert System | Chapter 8 | Scientific Research, New Technologies and Applications Vol. 7

The present study highlights about LoRa IoT Network for Instant Forest Fire Detection and Alert Systems. Around the world, forest fires have become a serious problem since they damage homes, wild animals, and trees while also contaminating the air with a high Air Quality Index. Natural and man-made disasters alike were rocking the globe. Tragedies like forest fires are one kind of environmental impact. Once started in the depths of the forest, the fire quickly spreads throughout the whole region, consuming all it touches. The hothouse effect and climatic changes are two effects of similar devastation. For detecting numerous environmental characteristics that may approach the threshold level during a fire-based mishap, this suggested system uses an Arduino and a variety of sensors. The Internet of Things (IoT) will bring new intelligence and efficiency to long-standing technologies such as home automation, control systems, and wireless sensor networks. Here, the temperature and smoke level of two primary factors are regularly monitored. Smoke is detected using the gas sensor MQ6, which measures and detects carbon-based gases. The Ds18b21 wire-based temperature sensor can detect smoke since smoking produces CO2. Furthermore, a PIR sensor is used to identify any human movement.  One Arduino analogue pin is connected to the analogue temperature and gas sensors. At the location of the node and hub, the fire uses Long Range Communication (LoRa) to alert the appropriate Tamil Nadu Forest Department.  The detecting system uses very little electricity and is powered by solar panels. LoRa can send data over larger distances of up to 15 km. To monitor and save these characteristics, an online interface is also established. Extensive field testing has demonstrated the system's effectiveness in real-world outdoor environments, where it continuously collects and transmits vital sensor data related to temperature, humidity, and other critical forest conditions. This data can be used to monitor potential fire hazards and inform timely responses, thereby enhancing forest management and safety protocols.

Medium-Voltage Testbed for Comparing Advanced Power Line Sensors vs. Measurement Transformers with Electrical Grid Events | Chapter 1 | Engineering Research: Perspectives on Recent Advances Vol. 5

Electrical utilities have relied upon potential transformers (PTs) and current transformers (CTs) for very accurate metering and to provide reliable signals for protective relays. These devices measure phase voltages and currents and are commissioned by electrical engineers. PTs/CTs can detect and react to various electrical anomalies that could adversely affect electrical grid operations. Less expensive alternative sensing technologies offer the possibility of wider deployment, particularly in grids that employ distributed energy resources. In this work, the performance of an advanced medium-voltage sensor is compared with that of a reference PT and a CT and experimentally evaluated for different power grid scenarios on an advanced outdoor power line sensor testbed at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The sensor is based on a capacitive divider for voltage monitoring and a Rogowski coil with an integrator for current monitoring. This study simulated a power grid model based on a utility circuit at the Riverside EPB of Chattanooga. The simulation circuit was created with MATLAB/Simulink software and was integrated into an RT-LAB project to run with the OP4510 real-time simulator at the OPLST. During the tests, the real-time simulations were run for 40 s, and the signal to record the test event with the power meter was set at 30 s for the event-trigger circuit. The advanced outdoor power line sensor testbed has a real-time simulator that is used to generate transient scenarios (e.g., electrical faults, capacitor bank operation, and service restoration), while the analog signals are recorded by the same high-resolution power meter. The behaviors of analog signals, harmonic components, total harmonic distortion, and crest factors are assessed for this power line sensor and compared with those of the reference PT/CT because of the absence  of testing standards for advanced outdoor power line sensors. The results showed that this OPLS technology responded identically to the PT and CT under all conditions.

Laser Synthesis of Nanometric Chromium Oxide Films with High Seebeck Coefficient and High Thermoelectric Figure of Merit: An Experimental Study | Chapter 1 | Current Overview on Science and Technology Research Vol. 4

 Utilizing ultraviolet photons from a KrF- laser ( = 248 nm), nanometric chromium oxide sheets of varying thickness, stoichiometry, and electrical properties were created. For the synthesis, reactive pulsed laser deposition (RPLD) was used as the foundation (RPLD). Film deposition was carried out between 293 and 800 K on a 100>Si substrate. XRD measurements show that films deposited on a Si substrate exhibit polycrystalline structure. All films demonstrated semiconductor temperature behaviour with a changeable band gap (Eg) less than 1.0 eV, depending on the substrate temperature, oxygen pressure in the reactor, and film thickness. It was investigated how the oxygen pressure, substrate temperature, and laser pulse frequency related to film thickness (55–200 nm). It was discovered that the ideal thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in the region of (280-330 K) was high as 0.23-5.0 and the ideal thermal electromotive force coefficient (Seebeck coefficient, S) was high as (3.0-8.0) mV/K. This made the UV-based RPLD technique used to make Cr3-XO3-Y nanometric films a very strong candidate for effective thermo-sensors and thermo-converters functioning at moderate temperatures. As a result, the primary goal of the research presented in this study is to identify the prerequisites for improving the thermoelectric properties of nanometric chromium oxide films.

Development of Electro-hydro Autonomous Parking Braking System for Electric Vehicle | Chapter 5 | Recent Developments in Engineering Research Vol. 10

In order to reduce human effort and to increase the safety of the vehicle, the importance of the parking braking system is to ensure the braking of the vehicle while parking on any lane. The Automatic Parking Braking System (APBS) has been configured to be automatically triggered as long as the vehicle ignition switch is turned off and the door is open. Compared to traditional parking brakes, additional safety features, automatic braking on the hill in parking with safety, less space, improving interior ergonomics, and reducing vehicle weight and expense, APBS provides distinct advantages for new-cars that are easier to run. With a small activation switch located on the centre console of a car, APBS replaces large manually controlled levers or foot pedals. The traditional parking brake system allows the driver to pull the lever manually while applying the brakes. To some degree, because of the insensitivity, the car is left without applying the parking brake, which could endanger the vehicle if there is some road gradient and strong wind. The goal of this study is to present an automated electro-hydro parking braking system with additional protection for parking the vehicle on the lane. This is built with a linear displacement mechanism by associating wheel speed sensors (WSS), accelerator off-sensors (AoS), alder magnetic sensor (AMS), controller, and actuator. When the vehicle parks, this electro-hydro automatic parking braking mechanism automatically brakes it. This guarantees that the vehicle is stable while it is stopped and prevents the rollaway of the vehicle or other unexpected movement that might occur. It enhances the protection of the vehicle and those around it as well. When the vehicle parks on the basis of the WSS, AMS, and AoS response, the actuator linear mechanism displacement is controlled by the auto-clamping system. Considering the 2-25% gradient of the route, the model was tested. The automatic parking braking system needs a hydraulic pressure of 383.66 kPa to ensure that the vehicle parks at a gradient of 25 percent, which is 11 percent less than the 35 km/h speed braking vehicle.
