Using Artificial Intelligence and IoT Solution for Forest Fire Prevention

—Natural ecosystem conservation is a topical issue that is receiving increasing attention from different branches of the scientific community. Forests and woodlands are major contributors to climate change mitigation, able to absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide. The conservation of tree areas has been addressed through the adoption of different solutions. This paper proposes a new monitoring system and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time fire detection. The system is based on intelligent Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) nodes and a Social Internet of Things (SIoT) platform on which AI algorithms have been implemented. The results obtained show the ability to detect the slightest change in observed environmental parameters, determining the direction and speed of fire propagation.
