Description of the project
KNOW , PRESERVE , PROTECT our natural and outdoor assets from wildfire disaster thanks to a disruptive and easy to set up solution.
Our goal : Offer an efficient solution to VERY EARLY DETECT WILDFIRE and OPTIMIZE THE FIREFIGHTERS ACTIONS.
Two pillars:
- ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING: long term monitoring of local environmental parameters (temperature, hygrometry..) in order to evaluate and anticipate the fire risk and study the long term health variation of a forest patch.
- VERY EARLY FIRE DETECTION: thanks to local sensors detecting abnormal infrared radiations and able to send located alarms and local pictures of the environment.
Mid-term project update
The SYLVIACARE project mainly involves specific and consequent software development concerning sensors, communication network, edge computing, web interface.
The two members of the consortium, SYLVIACARE and TIMBTRACK, worked hard to build detailed specifications that are key success materials for an efficient software development process and to mitigate the risks of failure during the integration part of the project : make all the equipment to perfectly communicate between each other.
The software development process has then been launched in December by each team. TIMBTRACK analysis on the communication interface has been done and the software development phase is initiated to reach a first version in February.
