Forest Fire Detection via the Internet of Things-Based Systems

One of the disasters caused by natural or human causes directly affect the economy, society, and environment on a large scale and makes it more difficult to meet some of the Sustainable Development Goals. The promotion of sustainable forest management help to achieve environmental sustainability, a goal that has gained international attention. Internet of Things (IoT), a revolutionary technology of the fourth industrial revolution, brings us toward achieving sustainable forest management by preventing hazards from occurring in the forest by employing a large number of smart devices to gather data, monitor the forest, and timely detection of fire. The current study extensively assesses how IoT is utilized to design various tools to promptly detect fire and manage it. Finally, based on the analysis, the challenges and suggestions for future improvement are made with regard to attaining forest sustainability by preventing forest fires and making the IoT based system more reliable.
