Detecção de emergências urbanas utilizando redes de sensores sem fio hierárquicas, colaborativas e configuráveis

Abstract

With the growth of the urban population in recent decades, the impacts of structural problems in cities have become increasingly serious and present, among them the occurrence of emergencies, such as fires, floods and earthquakes, is one of the most complex. The occurrence of emergencies is an old urban problem, which over the years has brought numerous negative impacts both on the lives of inhabitants and on the structure of cities. For this reason, it is extremely important to identify the occurrence of emergencies in their initial stages, allowing mitigation actions to be taken as quickly as possible, minimizing their damage. This work aims to develop a hierarchical, collaborative and configurable system, using wireless sensor networks and Fuzzy controller, which automates the detection of urban emergencies in an assertive, energetically efficient way, exploring the computing agility at the edge of the network. Simulations of emergencies in artificial scenarios prove the effectiveness of the system.
