Download or read book The Fundamentals and Empirical Design of a Smart Fire Detection System written by Mohammad Samadi Gharajeh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Fire Detection written by Roger P. Bennett and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest fires are a serious problem affecting many terrestrial ecosystems and causing substantial economic damage. Due to the increase of frequency and severity of large forest fire and wildland-urban interface fires, the World Health Organization has identified this problem as a threat to public health security in the 21st century. This book gathers and presents current research from across the globe in the study of fire detection techniques and applications. Some topics discussed, herein, include: early detection of forest fires from space using the RTM method; using the Lidar technique (light detection and ranging) for evaluation and fire surveillance; remotely sensed fire maps and historic fire regime reconstructions; aerosol and trace gas retrievals from remote sensing fire products; as well as using wireless thermal sensors to detect the positions of the fire front.
Download or read book Fire Detection in Warehouse Facilities written by Joshua Dinaburg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automatic sprinklers systems are the primary fire protection system in warehouse and storage facilities. The effectiveness of this strategy has come into question due to the challenges presented by modern warehouse facilities, including increased storage heights and areas, automated storage retrieval systems (ASRS), limitations on water supplies, and changes in firefighting strategies. The application of fire detection devices used to provide early warning and notification of incipient warehouse fire events is being considered as a component of modern warehouse fire protection. Fire Detection in Warehouse Facilities provides technical information to aid in the development of guidelines and standards for the use of fire detection technologies for modern warehouse fire protection. The authors share their thorough literature review, analyze characteristic fire hazards for modern warehouse facilities, and identify information gaps in the field. The book concludes with recommendations for the development of guidelines and standards for the use of detection technologies in warehouse fire protection design, including a research plan for implementation. This book is intended for practitioners seeking an understanding of the issues surrounding warehouse design and fire protection. The book will also prove valuable for fire hazard researchers and those involved with fire department response, applicable detection systems, and fire growth suppression.
