TITLE: A forest fire management system using a multiple sensor assembly wireless networking.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION AND USE OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention is made in the field of Information technology and electronics and communication engineering, more particularly a system for detecting Forest Fire using acoustic sensor assemble and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for speedy and efficient detection and to extinguish the fire to reduce the damage caused by the unpredictable Forest Fire.

[0002] Here a system is designed for monitoring a forest or a portion of a forest for the early detection and reporting of forest fires. The system uses remotely deployed detection units which contain infrared sensors, video cameras, weather sensing equipment, a local processor, and communication equipment for communicating to a central command station. The central command station houses a central data processing unit that receives all information from the remote detection units, issues command signals for the control of the remote detection units, and is capable of displaying video images of the scene as detected by the remote detectors. The central data processing unit also contains a program that makes use of the data received from the remote detection units to produce a forecast of the expected growth pattern of the forest fire to assist firefighting personnel during firefighting.

PRIOR ART AND PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED

[0003] The risk of fires in the forest and the field increases as a result of climatic conditions Changes and human interventions and activities constantly. Such Fires are usually a threat to human life and cause great economic and ecological damage. For effective fighting and containment of forest fires is an early one Detect necessary.

[0004] Forest Fires to date are not predictable and the change in climatic conditions and its wild nature causes huge loss of property. Some wildfires in the past resulted in substantial losses of property and human lives and it has even tracked down to burn down almost over 4 million acres at a time. The increased severity of fires, combined with a continuing development in, and near, forests, but many more communities are at risk and has substantially increased both the difficulty and cost of fire suppression. Realizing that one way to stop the loss is to prevent the fires from occurring, great efforts are made, and much time is spent educating the public so that the fires will not occur. However, there is no possible way to stop forest fires from occurring due to natural causes like lightning, a rise in temperature, and others. The Fire Fighters are kept on call in such a situation to manage the situation, but they are neither informed in time nor are they equipped with an effective tool which at times results in tragedies caused by wildfires as it even engulfs the firefighters causing loss of human life. Usually, the detection methods are depending on the type and size of the monitoring region and the hazard potential Method. For example, planes are used or human observation posts on towers. Especially with long-term Tower-based monitoring results in detection errors Fatigue, inattentiveness and similar factors.

[00051 This invention provides a system that is designed to be set up anywhere in the forest and is programmed to smartly manage the work autonomously. This system is connected to multiple sensor assemblies set up in the forest and the radar set up near the unit can track the signals sent by the sensors set up indicates regarding a fire in the forest vicinity. The sensors are programmed to immediately notify in case of small or large fire so as reduce the possibility of wildfire. To extinguish the fire the unit set up in the forest has an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle which is made capable to carry a water pipe to the site and the system will start the motor and continuous water will be provided till the fire has been completely extinguished. This reduces the requirement of the availability of human Firefighters for this task thus saving lives and above all the quick notification from the sensor device increase the possibility to extinguish the fire at the initial stage thus preventing the loss of property or forest lands and habitat.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION:

[00061 At the current time, most forests are not adequately equipped with early fire detection methodologies. Most fire detection is still trusted to lookout personnel in remotely placed towers or other means of human observation. The obvious drawbacks of leaving such large areas of territory trusted to merely human observation are those of late detection, false alarms, and the inability to rapidly deploy fire fighting personnel along the predicted fire front, thereby undermining the firefighters' effectiveness.

[00071 It has already been proposed, where aeroplanes and water trucks are used with Fire retardant sprays and powders to control the fire but here due to lack of early intimation and inefficient tool the fire usually get uncontrollable or it utilizes huge resources and time to get the situation under control.

[0008] The principal objective of the invention is an integrated system for the monitoring of a forest for the early detection and reporting of forest fires. The system comprises remotely deployed detection units that house infrared sensors, video cameras, weather sensors, a local processor and communications equipment. These remote detection units are linked to a central command station which receives and processes data from the remote sites, visually displays images from the remote sites on monitors for observation by firefighting personnel, and contains data processing equipment that can process the remotely received data and output, for use by firefight personnel, a forecast of the projected path of the fire front as the fire spreads through the forest.

[0009] Another objective of the invention is the provision of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to extinguish the fire which is set up at the controlling unit and in case of notification of fire from the forest area, the controlling unit commands the UAV of the situation and the UAV is sent to the location so that it can carry the pipe to extinguish the fire occurred at the site.

[000101 The further objective of the invention is to learn regarding the region in which the fire has broken and the range in which the event has occurred. The controlling unit has a sprinkler system to disperse water to the nearby range to keep the system safe and to extinguish a fire in the nearby region without utilizing a UAV.

[00011] The further objective of the invention has the facility to self-charge the sensor assembly with the provision of a renewable source of energy including solar energy, wind energy, and others.

[000121 The further objective of the invention is that the controlling unit and the UAV is powered using a hybrid source of energy and the UAV is facilitated with continuous charging in case of flight to keep the aerial device flying till the entire fire was extinguished.

[00013] The further objective of the invention is the notification system wherein the controlling unit is made capable to send a notification to the nearest fire control department after identifying the rage of fire. In the case of controllable fire, it is managed by the automation system itself using the UAV.

[00014] The further objective of the invention is the proprietary design of the pipe which is designed to be lifted by the UAV to extinguish the fire and is designed to maintain the balance of the UAV at the time of flight by putting the least pressure on the UAV while the water is being pushed through the pipe.

SUMMARY

[00015] Forests are being preserved for the future generation and they have been brought under serious national reserves to protect the vegetation and wildlife. Even with all the securities and preservation the problems of forest fires are causing huge loss of property and life. Apart from causing tragic loss of lives and valuable natural, national and individual properties including hundreds and thousands of acres of forest and hundreds of houses, forest fires are a great menace to the ecologically healthy growth of forests and the protection of the environment. With the population shifting to forest-based areas the damage of life and property has increased and the preventive measures which have been adopted presently although are serving the purpose to an extent it is still not able to provide timely service and are unable to control the damages to a large extent. The air-based services are used to extinguish the fire, but they must continuously refill the tank to take care of wildfire which has already spread in large areas. It is needful to have a technology or system that could provide for earlier warnings, coordinate responses, and improve safety that would be helpful in the ongoing fight to prevent. In the present invention, an autonomous control unit is designed which has been equipped with a customized UAV which is used to replace the human firefighters in hazardous situations. The acoustic sensors are set up around the entire forest region to track even minor changes in the frequency and the radars set up at the controlling unit will be indicated of the scenario and based on the distance from the controlling unit either the sprinkler pumps or the UAV will be commanded for the extinguishing process. The controlling unit will directly notify the nearest fire rescuing site of the scenario and will continuously report the data in case any onsite is needed. This system will help to immediately act and to reduce the possibility of wildfire and damages caused by the same.

[000171 Further, the words "an" or "a" mean "at least one" and the word "plurality" means "one or more" unless otherwise mentioned. Furthermore, the terminology and phraseology used herein is solely used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as limiting in scope.

[00019] The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention so that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as outlined in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description.

[00020] The present invention is regarding an autonomous control unit which is designed to be set up in the forest and has a centralized server system connected to the multiple acoustic sensor assemblies that are set up in the forest in a particular fashion to cover the maximum area of the region to obtain a complete reading from the events occurring in the forest. In case even minor fire is detected the acoustic sensors will immediately notify the controlling unit using a radar system and it is made capable to map the thermal area to identify the affected regions and the amount of source which will be required to extinguish the fire.

[00021] In this system for the identification of the Fire in the forest region, the entire area is set up with sensor units that can be of varying types to obtain quick and appropriate readings of the forest regions. A combination of sensors can be set up in every region to obtain maximum information from the surrounding. The types of sensors may be inclusive of, smoke sensors, temperature sensors, image sensors that can send messages using one or more of a variety of communication schemes. In addition to the above stated, light sensors can even be used to identify the fire even at night hours and the acoustic sensors could detect the acoustic signature of a wildfire, along with humidity and temperature sensors could even predict the possibility of rising temperature or humidity condition of the forest region. The sensors should be pre-placed in locations, such as on trees, on a rock formation, or other locations by forest officers. The sensors could also be deployed from the air by dropping them from drones (UAV), helicopters or aeroplanes. The sensors deployed by dropping them into the forest would be designed to catch in the trees or other foliage for best operation.

[00022] It consists of an infrared sensor which is optimized for detection of heat sources in the 2000 to 300 C. range against ambient background temperature of 0 to 40 C. In addition to the infrared sensor, there is a video camera for optical monitoring of the forest area under surveillance. Both the camera and the infrared sensor are mounted on a movable platform which allows the camera and infrared sensor to be coincidentally moved over a range of positions covering 360 azimuthal degrees.

[000231 There are a group of weather sensors that provide information as to local temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, solar radiation and rain rate. This weather data, in combination with the data from the infrared sensor, is fed to a local data processor which collects and processes the weather data and infrared sensing data either locally or in response to commands from a central command station. Communications equipment located at the remote site handles data exchange between the remote location and the central command centre as well as the transmission of video images for visual monitoring at the central command station.

[00024] The sensors are programmed to communicate with the radar set up arranged near the controlling unit deployed at an appropriate location from the sensor in the forest. The sensor assembly is usually set up at an equidistant from the controlling unit to easily communicate usually in a circular structure. Here the prominent sensor which is used as an explanation for the scenario is acoustic sensors that communicate with the radar using sound signals which are sent to the radar unit to inform the scenario and in case any fire has occurred. The location of the sensor sending the sound frequency is identified and the radars build a thermal map of the region where the fire has taken place. In case other sensors are set up in the forest satellite communication facilities can even be used for sending the sensed data and the data can be communicated to the control unit set up in the forest to take immediate action, but usually, immediate action needs to be taken, the acoustic sensors are used so that the sound-based signal indication can immediately be sent to the radar unit. The acoustic sensor is designed to identify the phenomena of pressure, strain, torque, temperature, and mass as the surface of the sensor consists of a piezoelectric substrate. Most modem surface acoustic wave sensors use an input Inter Digitated transducer (IDT) to convert an electrical signal into an acoustic wave.

[000251 For the powering of the sensor assembly, multiple sources can be used comprising of batteries, solar energy, piezoelectric generator with "leaves" or other power supply, or by any combination thereof. The sensors at the time of identification of fire will transmit signals and will utilize their energy to send the sound frequency to the radar.

[00026] The strength of the system proposed according to the concepts described herein lies in the ability to process environmental and other data from many sensors. The collective data can be used to chart the location, intensity, progress, and direction of the wildfire allowing resources to be deployed more efficiently. In addition to live streaming data from the sensors, information could also be derived from the lost signals from the sensors, providing information about where the sensors have been destroyed by the fire. The controlling unit has radar system assembly which is used to identify the signals and they are made capable to map the thermal data obtained from the sensor data to identify the region in which the fire has occurred and the possible direction in which it is being spread. The FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar will search for all the signals in 360 degrees. Radar can scan the differences in speed of acoustic waves, generated by acoustic sources, periodically measuring air temperatures immediately. A thermal map is plotted for the associated radar, at the control centre from the readings fetched by the acoustic sensor. Using the thermal map, software checks for instant temperature changes, and when sudden increases are found, establishes communication with the drone present in the control centre. All the values from the control centre are sent to the satellite's transponders for distant monitoring.

[000271 The controlling unit has a central server system which has a software encoded processing system to identify the sensor data and to process the data to understand the actions which need to be immediately taken in case of identification of a change of temperature or case of fire. The system has a database to store all the reading and stored data to identify the scenario and the possible outcome of it. The controlling unit is also programmed to communicate with the coordinator at any corner of the world or at the nearest fire rescue centre using satellite-based communication to provide information regarding the scenario of the forest. The centralized unit can be powered using any hybrid source of energy including electricity, generator batteries, solar, wind, heat and any other form to keep the system active. In case any problem is faced by the system it will immediately inform the fire-rescue department or the technical department so that the needful can be done. Every data sensed by the sensor is well identified by the radar and it is provided to the controlling unit. The controlling unit can access the data based on the algorithm programmed into the system which includes location, the direction of spread, the speed of movement and other related conditions. These fire conditions can then be used to coordinate the firefighting response to the fire and to provide safety information to UAV such as warnings of advancing lines of fire and escape routes for the people residing near the forest areas and also provide assistance to the firefighters in case they are called for a rescue operation. The controlling unit is in charge of the UAV system which is made capable to extinguish the fire.

[000281 The Controlling unit has been attached with water throwing pipe assembly which can push and throw water to a reasonable distance to protect the controlling unit in case fire is experienced in the nearby region and this also preserves the energy of the UAV which can also be used to extinguish the fire. The Central unit is attached to the water tank assembly which is controlled and managed by the system. The water level is indicated to the controlling unit in case there is a deficiency and the controlling unit updates the managing agency regarding the scenario so that the water level can be maintained.

[000291 The UAV system is built with the efficiency to carry a pipe from the controlling unit to the site which has been affected by the fire. The location is notified by the controlling unit to the UAV and it is provided with a GPS location so that it could move to the location. The continuous data from the sensors are read and analyzed and sent to the UAV so that it can be provided with the location at which the maximum efforts needs to be made to extinguish the fire. Initially, the drone (rotors are in folded position) and its controlling system is in the sleep mode inside the drone housing to save power. The drone platform is kept inside the housing which is used to lift the drone to a certain safe height (the drone is made in the ready for flight position with the unfolded wings) and the housing door is opened for its flight.

[00030] The drone is powered using electric charging and it has a hybrid powering source where the solar energy and electric energy can be used to charge the batteries of the UAV for providing continuous charging. In the case of flight, the UAV is attached with a power cable to charge itself.

[000311 For extinguishing the Fire, a Pipe that is attached to the Water Tank has its front nozzle fixed to the drone and at the time of flight to the Fire affected site, it is carried by the UAV to the location. Initially, the Pipe is empty and is not loaded with water, once the UAV reached the site, it notifies the controlling system and starts the water system which then flows to the end and the drone holds the pipe to splash it onto the fire affected site. Live video from the drone can be invigilated at the monitoring station so that the situation can be analyzed. In case of a false alarm, the drone will invigilate the situation and will notify the scenario to the controlling system so that the water system is not activated from the controlling end.

[00032] The pipe in this system is customized so that it can be efficiently managed by the UAV to bear the weight and thrust of water when projected from the pipe to extinguish the fire. To create a pressure, difference the pipe is designed with a dual piping system where the pipe has an inner pipe and the structure is built concentric. The Outer pipe is used to create the pressure difference whereas the inner pipe will carry the water which will be thrust out to the site. The upper half of the annular space will be having low pressure and the lower part of the annular space will have high pressure comparatively. Now, when the pressure difference between the pipes will be greater than 31.21 Pa it will start levitating. The upper half of the annular space will be having a high velocity of air, which in turn will create low pressure in that chamber and the high pressure is created with the comparatively low speed of air blown to it.

[00033] Higher pressure tends to go towards the lower pressure area, which will create an upward lift. The nozzle of the pipe will be such that water mist will be expelled out of it. The water in the outer piper is sent in an angular fashion so that it can create pressure to provide a lift to the entire pipe being held by the drone to minimize the pressure on the UAV in lifting the pipe when the water is being thrust through the internal pipe. In case the water is emptied on the site the water tank mechanism will notify the controlling unit and the controlling unit will indicate the drone to return to the location parallelly informing the rescue department of the situation.

[000341 In case of any requirement to manage the pipe to farther distances of the forest, the system has the facility to command multiple drones to assist the parent drone in carrying the pipe and to handle the pressure while the water is thrust out with force from the nozzle of the pipe held by the parent drone.

[00035] So here the entire system works coordinatingly where the command is maintained at the central unit. When a fire condition is determined to be present, the remote detector transmits the position of any possible fire, together with weather data and video images from a video camera, to the central command station utilizing a remote communication subsystem, which is received and sorted by the central communication system. Video images are selectively displayed on the monitor and can also be recorded on the video recorder. The fire and weather data is fed to the central processor, which, in addition to other functions later described, overlays, via software, the alarm locations on topographic maps stored in an electronic database. A modelling program 4 then develops a forecast of fire evolution which is a prediction of the growth path of the fire overtime in the hours following alarm detection, based upon known forest characteristics, historic weather information, current weather information, vegetation and other known forest data also stored in the data base.

[00036] The system is made capable of analyses the situation based on the information received from the sensor assembly set up in the forest region in a circular fashion equidistant from the central unit and the sensor is made capable to convert the electric effect into the sound signal to notify the radar set up at the controlling unit regarding any change in the forest region especially in case of fire. The controlling unit is linked to the radar system and it is programmed with the algorithm to analyze and evaluate the situation. The system is also in charge of the water tank to identify the water level and to notify in case the water level is very low, and the weather details received to notify the possibility of any fire like situation. The UAV is set up in the controlling unit and is programmed to be in sleep mode to save energy and in case of a trigger notification from the controlling unit, it is launched from the platform with the proprietarily designed pipe. The UAV is navigated with the GPS location which is sent by the Controlling unit and in case of misinformation, the UAV is programmed to analyze the situation capture images and notify the controlling unit about the situation. The UAV is called back in such a situation and the fire rescuing agencies are notified of the same.
