Firefighters have an increased risk for cardiac arrest while responding to incidences of significant magnitude. Current procedures in firefighting standards require several rehab activities such as measuring body temperature and electrocardiogram (ECG) for prescribed intervals during incidences. In this work, we developed a novel wirelessly powered, non-contact electrode (NCE) bio-potential sensor...
Fire is one of the few disasters that frequently occurred in Indonesia. Jakarta has archived 1139 fire incident with more than 20 casualties in 2016. By the rapid development of information technology and communication in Indonesia, it turns out that the number of incident and casualty still cannot be suppressed. This research is focused on early fire detection and home monitoring based on Wireless...
When hazardous events occurs in buildings or in large environments with different access points and with a large number of users, rescue workers (firefighters, first aid workers, civil protection teams, etc.) need to intervene in a timely manner, where there is a certainty that there are users to help. Topically such events require avoiding waste of resources in environments where there are no people...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are spatially scattered independent sensors to track physical objects or monitor environmental data and collectively transmit the data to master station. WSN is deployed in numerous fields such as animal tracking, precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, security and surveillance, smart buildings, health care and so on. This paper presents various applications...
Current study shows that the advances in wireless sensor technology create a chance to promptly and effortlessly deploy low-cost, wide-scale and a network of low-power sensors across moderately considerable environmental areas. Additionally, the advancement and increase of small but affordable wireless hardware is further completed by the open source software components that rapidly developed. A variety...
For existing problems and defects of power cable tunnel fire protection system, a new type of fire alarm and protection system was developed. Wireless transmission technology and distributed fire detection units are used to this system, and it can collect the real-time data of temperature, smoke concentration and the concentration of toxic gases. Two layer transmission network are set up to transmit...
Forest ecosystems have always received worldwide attention due to their biological diversity and major role in the global atmospheric balance. One case example in Malaysia is the Royal Belum forest which has not been spared from land clearing or illegal activities by the irresponsible individuals, although this area has been gazetted as a protected area preserved for future generations. The main aim...
This paper describes the concept of the portable system for monitoring thermal exposure of firemen and other rescues. The system measures, archives and analyses actual external and internal temperatures affecting the monitored person and gives him a warning in case of dangerously increased values. Described is the construction and electrical components of the device, some important tests done in various...
This paper analyzes the wiring problem which exists in the ancient building electrical fire monitoring system, taking JN5148 wireless low-power embedded processor as the core, we design an ancient building electrical fire early warning system based JenNet protocol of wireless sensor network. To compose communication structure of electrical fire early warning system in this paper we add the wireless...
Fire is a very dangerous situation and it is very much necessary to monitor and give warning before anything untoward happens. In many developing countries, houses do not come fitted with fire alarm system as seen in developed countries like Singapore, USA etc. This results in fire being unattended and leading to lot of losses like property, human and so. Also in developing countries like India, we...
Enabling kitchen safety is crucial for elderly people independent living. Cooking, usually, is accompanied with several risks particularly for elderly people, due to aging associated impairments. Therefore, cooking-safe environment is required to enhance safety of elderly people. This is the motivation behind our research work on building a cooking-safe system. In this paper, we present the fuzzy-logic...
Forest fire early detection is an important problem from many points of view. It harms ecology and decreases the overall life quality also it is important from economical point of view as wood is a valuable recourse. In this paper, we examine the problem of early fire/smoke detection using shots of different parts of the controlled forest terrain. Our approach is based on image full segmentation,...
Forest fire is caused by burning weeds in the field or burning paper as sacrificial offerings in the graveyard, so that the forest fire early warning system is designed and developed with GIS and WSNs. A number of sensor nodes which constitutes the Wireless sensor networks were developed in the region which can measure the concentration of CO and smog and detect flame and gauge the temperature and...
This paper presents a real-time imaging acquisition and processing system for early smoke detection in indoor scenarios such as home/office, warehouse, industrial building, or on-board vehicles (train, bus or ship.). The main idea is integrating standard gas/temperature sensors with the results of a video-based smoke detection processing exploiting its temporal, spatial and chromatic characteristics...
Nearly all our buildings and workspaces are protected against fire breaks, which may occur due to some fault in the electric circuitries and power sources. The immediate alarming and aid to extinguish the fire in such situations of fire breaks are provided using embedded systems installed in the buildings. But as the area being monitored against such fire threats becomes vast, these systems do not...
Forest fire (or wildfire) has been a great threat to the depleting greenery of the earth. If reserved forests of any country catches wildfire, it suffers great damage. So, it is essential to detect the fire early in order to preserve the forest. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has been a boon in wildfire detection and monitoring. Timely detection of wildfire is possible with the use of WSN. The use...
The ZigBee technology is a new wireless communication technology with the characters of low cost, low complexity and low consumption. Aiming at the requirement of the special environmental and security-defense of SMT workshop, an intelligent SMT workshop monitoring system based on ZigBee wireless sensor network technology is provided. This system makes the SMT workshop discrete devices as an entirety...
The traditional fire monitoring system for historical building adopts wired mode which can do a lot of damage to the building. In order to solve this problem, a wireless fire monitoring system is designed based on the CC2530. The sensor node and the routing strategy are implemented in this system. The sensor nodes sense the temperature, light and smoke. Then they transmit this information to the coordinator...
Current research suggests that firefighters are under high risks of cardiac attacks due to heat stress and high physiological exertion. Thus, it is very important to track the location of firefighters in a real fire scenario, so as to alert the fire crew chief during a medical emergency. In this paper, we use Wireless Body Area Sensor Networks (WBASN) to gather various physiological data from monitoring...
The multi-purpose integrated homeland surveillance security systems are usually located in remote areas. Intelligent decision making (IDM) capability emerges as the primary feature in the realization of the T/R architecture. The aim of employing IDM is two-fold. First is to save energy, as the system operation is desired to be autonomous based on the available solar power and the corresponding battery-bank...
