Smart Fire Detection and Deterrent System for Human Savior by Using Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Fire monitoring systems have usually been based on a single sensor such as smoke or flame. These single sensor systems have been unable to distinguish between true and false presence of fire, such as a smoke from a cigarette which might cause the fire alarm to go off. Consuming energy all day long and being dependent on one sensor that might end with false alert is not efficient and environmentally friendly. We need a system that is efficient not only in sensing fire accurately, but we also need a solution which is smart. In order to improve upon the results of existing single sensor systems, our system uses a combination of three sensors to increase the efficiency. The result from the sensor is then analyzed by a specified rule-set using an AI-based fuzzy logic algorithm; defined in the purposed research, our system detects the presence of fire. Our system is designed to make smart decisions based on the situation; it provides feature updated alerts and hardware controls such as enabling a mechanism to start ventilation if the fire is causing suffocation, and also providing water support to minimize the damage. The purposed system keeps updating the management about the current severity of the environment by continually sensing any change in the environment during fire. The purposed system proved to provide accurate results in the entire 15 test performed around different intensities of a fire situation. The simulation work for the SMDD is done using MATLAB and the result of the experiments is satisfactory.
