Environment monitoring with smart sensing technology

Abstract

Environment pollution is a major concern in current development of civilization and many works are underway in order to tackle this issue by the science community. A Wireless Sensor Network using smart sensors to monitor environmental condition is just one example. Efficient aggregation of data collected by sensors is crucial for a successful application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) [13]. These smart sensor networks consist of various sensory devices, which collect data from our surrounding and transmit them via wireless channels. All the sensors and components in this network are called nodes. Nodes are devices which are low cost self-possessed by a microprocessor, memory, sensors, radio frequency and power source (battery/solar). In developed system, data is sent from the transmitter node to the receiver node [14]. There is a base station or mother node which is the receiver node responsible for receiving and processing data. This network can be implemented in any kind of environmental scenario. Our project is developed for different environments like forest, greenhouse and any other place where areas are needed to be monitored. At present Internet of Things (IOT) is an emerging technology and we used the concept of IOT in this project. In this project Remote device management and data access are made simple with web interfaces, information such as hourly and daily averages is automatically computed [15]. This paper reveals an idea of environmental monitoring system by implementing a Wireless Sensor Network using sensors and wireless communication.
