The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System

This book introduces a smart fire detection system designed using a wireless sensor network and fuzzy methods. This system predicts, controls, and provides alerts to various events based on intelligent techniques. Routing protocols are performed based on intelligent procedures in which they are classified into two main groups: static and dynamic. Static protocols are used to transmit data packets between stationary nodes, while dynamic protocols are applied to transmit messages between rescue teams and fire departments. The active and passive states are specified for sensor nodes to balance the remaining energy of the nodes and prolong the network lifetime. The probability of explosion, fire, burn, and suffocation is determined based on fuzzy procedures. People affected can be guided to the exit at event places based on an intelligent method. In addition, members and dispatch routes of rescue and support teams are selected using intelligent methods to reduce financial losses and human casualties. The book will be useful for professors, researchers, and engineers in computer and electrical engineering.
