A Comprehensive Review onWireless Sensor Networks for Fire Detection

Abstract

The manufacturing of the small and low-cost sensors has become technically and economically feasible as a result of current technological advances. There has been developed various types of sensor across the globe in order to determine the conditions of the environment across the globe. The wireless sensor networks play a crucial role in order to detect the fire conditions worldwide. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of spatially distributed autonomous sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environment conditions, such as temperature, sound, Vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants.The development of wireless sensor networks was inspired byMilitary technologies such as battlefield surveillance are also used in many areas of industrial and civil applications, monitoring and regulation of industrial processes, environmental monitoring of machine health, ecosystem monitoring, healthcare applications, home automation and traffic control.
