Design analysis and field verification of real time intelligent sensor systems

Abstract

The recent studies of the International Union for Conservation of newlineNature (IUCN) on Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC) show that, as a newlineconsequence of growing urbanization and industrialization in the newlinecontemporary era, forest areas have been reused for purposes other than newlineforestry as a result, the habitat available to wild animals has been reduced. newlineTherefore, most wild animals face serious challenges to survive on their food newlineresources. Thus, to mitigate the causes and to stop the animal movement from newlineforest areas to cultivation land, the forest department and local people have newlinecarried out various technical and non-technical methods. Still, most of them newlineare temporary solutions and are ineffective for a long time. Thus, designing an newlineefficient and permanent solution to stop the conflict through technical and newlineindigenous sensor system development is an important research area to focus newlineon. The sensor system developed for this solution should be capable of newlinedetecting, segregating and providing warning alerts so that the HWC can be newlinereduced. newlineWild animals wander in the forest areas for food, and if limited newlineresources are available, they come into contact with human habitation, where newlinethe HWC arises. The local communities and forest officials are working day newlineand night to save the crops from wild animals and to drive away animals into newlinethe forest. The most terrible situation is where the methodologies and newlinesolutions imparted by researchers, local communities, and forest officials are newlinenot efficient enough to detect, segregate, and push the right alerts to save newlinecrops from damage and wild animal damage. newline
