Introduction
Due to the destruction of human dwellings and forest ecosystems caused by forest fires, they have grown to be a major global concern. Climate change and the greenhouse effect are two effects of such destruction. It is vital to note that more forest fires are started by human activities. To lessen the destruction caused by forest fires, authorities need help in early fire detection.
The Alzaytoonah University of Jordan provided whole funding for the FDPA project, which was formally launched in October 2021 for a duration of one year (2021-2022). Jordan's Ministry of Agriculture and Civil Defense Department both provided funding for the initiative.
The project
Forest fires become more intense as a result of extreme weather, which is becoming more often and more intense due to climate change. Massive wildfires have been ravaging forests and other landscapes at an alarming rate, resulting in the deaths of people, the extinction of homes and species, the release of millions of tons of CO2 and other pollutants, as well as other harmful effects. Therefore, it is crucial to control forest fire crises effectively. The University funded the project in the Fall of 2021 to address this global issue.
Framework
To track environmental changes, the projects rely on simple node components. The following three algorithms can be used for the sensor readings:
Detection
Prediction
Behavior analysis
Along with the analysis of the sensor readings, the results of the three algorithms will be shown on a user-friendly screen
Project trial steps
Prepration
Sensor testing
Field planning
Field trial
System final evaluation
