Automatic Remote Farm Irrigation System with WSN and Weather Forecasting

Abstract

The paper showcases the system used for automating agriculture using wireless sensor network (WSN) and weather prediction. WSN, is more efficient than IoT as it avoids connecting all the sensor nodes directly to Internet, thus reducing the traffic over Internet and energy consumption of the sensor network. The system consists of a clustered tree topology to increase the range of operation, connectivity and easily connect new nodes dynamically. The sensor nodes being the leaves, local gateways being the branches and the global gateway being the root node. The system is implemented using cost effective micro-controllers, robust communication modules and reliable data showcasing platforms. Our implementation uses weather prediction to minimize the water needed for irrigation. Thereby minimizing cost and increasing efficient usage of resources.

Streamline Intelligent Crowd Monitoring with IoT Cloud Computing Middleware

“…WSN middleware exists in many aspects of computer science, including artificial intelligence, computer systems and networks, security, database systems, human–computer interaction, vision and graphics, numerical analysis, programming languages, software engineering, bioinformatics, and the theory of computing [ 39 ]. WSNs are also employed in applications related to urban [ 40 ] and rural [ 41 ] projects, outdoor [ 42 ] and indoor [ 34 , 43 ] tracking, environmental monitoring [ 44 ], disaster monitoring [ 45 ], water quality [ 46 ], habitat monitoring [ 47 ], traffic monitoring [ 48 ], earthquake detection [ 49 ], volcano eruption [ 50 ], agriculture [ 51 ], weather forecasting [ 52 ], smart water management [ 53 ], smart cities [ 54 ], smart health [ 55 ], smart energy management [ 56 ], smart traffic management [ 57 ], smart retail [ 58 ], smart security [ 59 ], smart waste management [ 60 ], smart education [ 61 ], and smart homes [ 62 ].…”
