Awards: Best IoT that Incorporates Multiple Nodes, San Diego Hackathon 2019
The goal of this project is to provide a reliable, low-cost early detection system for wildfires. VulcaNet is an extensible IoT mesh network that aggregates environmental sensor data from various locations within a given area, such as ambient temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and carbon dioxide air content. Based on these parameters, the system can predict the likeliness and detect the presence of wildfires in the area.
