Project Description
Use of smart technology to monitor and control bush fires.
Data Story
Vegetation load, population density, topographical features and historical fire behaviour datasets are used to develop a function/model in ArcMap. Active data collected is humidity, temperature, live visuals, wind speed and direction and infra-red detection of fires through drone sensors.
