Diseño de una red de sensores para la detección y protección de incendios forestales

Abstract

With the growth of monitoring applications in intelligent environments in the engineering, transport, communications, business, agriculture sector, and the significant reduction in the manufacturing costs of sensors, enabled the introduction of monitoring applications in new contexts, where their application benefits any population. Furthermore, todays sensor networks permit the monitoring of places of difficult access and large territorial extension. This paper details the design and implementation of a network of sensors for the prevention of forest fires, where its main objective is to rely on technology as an alternative to early warning.
