Natural disasters have increased due to man recently being senseless and with the effects of the damages they caused on the environment. These factors which negatively affect the ecosystem in the world have been noticed and the hitches are wanted to be prevented. As known, fires are the leading of these disasters. Most of the fires are triggered by the environmental causes even though a minority of them are self-triggered. To prevent fires many different safety systems have been developed. Among these systems, Wireless Sensor Networks stand out with their ease of use and low cost. In this study implementation of systems for keeping track of fires in a certain area with Wireless Sensor Networks has been discussed.
In recent years, the studies in inter-devices communication (M2M) which is considered to be the Internet, ecosystem of the objects have accelerated in line with the developments in mobile communication technologies. This way, development of systems making human lives easier in smart environment, smart agriculture, smart grid fields with monitoring purposes which can be considered among M2M implementations is now possible. These systems can be developed with sensor node platform which can detect and communicate. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) consists of these sensor nodes containing simple processors, low power consuming antennas and various detectors. As the sensor networks do not require wired communication infrastructure, they can easily and inexpensively be formed with no harm to the environment. The sensor nodes have the ability to store and process data locally thanks to the software and hardware structure they have. The fact that they can get in contact with each other enables them to collaborate in performing complicated tasks along with exchanging information. As the communication means have low power consumption, it ensures that the life of the sensor nodes is long. The fact, too, that the nodes are programmable after being placed in the medium provides greater advantages. Because of the low cost and flexibility in use, the wireless sensor nodes are convenient to be used in many industrial and environmental applications. In this study, -how to develop smart environment, smart agriculture, smart grid with WSN-is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
