Sistema eletrônico de detecção e gerenciamento de incêndios para unidades de conservação: um protótipo utilizando o arduino

Abstract

Destructive environmental fires are mainly caused by burning, a technique ancestral agriculture, or irresponsible human actions. In this context, in the Park Chapada Diamantina National Park, in Bahia, the incidence of these fires is alarming and, although the common causes of fires, natural factors and remote locations often complicate prevention efforts, challenging firefighters, firefighters and volunteers who work tirelessly to contain the flames. That said, the objective of this project was to build an electronic system that detects the increasing concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in the air and notifies the body responsible for monitoring a conservation area environmental. The idea is, using Arduino, to develop an electronic system self-sustainable early detection of fires, through the use of solar panels and power supply to make it work day and night. This system serves to monitor environmental preservation areas and was tested in the Chapada Diamantina, Bahia. To report a possible fire, the system detects the increasing increase in CO and, through the ESP8266 wireless module connected to the Arduino board, it sends the value of the concentration of CO in the air. The contribution of this electronic system lies in the innovative process adopted through an information system associated with free hardware electronic prototyping in order to improve the monitoring and speeding up fire prevention. Among the results, it stands out the initiative to create means of greater control over fires in areas of environmental preservation, seeking to avoid major losses in nature, as well as Fire prevention initiatives were demonstrated to the community.
