FOREST FIRE DETECTION WITH WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING TIME SYNCHRONIZATION PROTOCOL

We present the design and estimate of a wireless sensor network for early detection of forest fires. Recent years have seen a considerable increase in the frequency of forest fires due to various factors that include climate changes, human happenings which are essential for economic development. In this paper, we existing a wireless sensor network for detection of forest fires. We first describe the design of the forest fire detection system. We describe the design of wireless sensor network and a scheme fo r data collection in real - time forest fire detection. Time synchronization is a critical piece of infrastructure for any distributed system. We then present our implementation on Genetlab Sensenode platform using TinyOS 2.1.
