An Intelligent Anti-Smuggling System for Trees
Prof. Raghavendra Hegde · International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology · 2019
It is commonly read in the Newspaper about the Smuggling of the Trees such as Sandal, Teak etc taking place throughout the world.Since the demands for these trees are more, the cost of such trees are also high.By selling the woods of such trees, a huge amount can be earned and hence the smuggling of such trees may take place which is considered to be an illegal act.In order to prohibit the illegal smuggling of these trees some measures are to be undertaken.The main objective of this system is to restrict the smuggling and save the valuable trees so to maintain balanced eco-system by preventing deforestation.The system uses the GPS technology from which admin can find the location of guards so that if particular guard is present near to the location where smuggling is going on, the admin can approach that guard to take some preventive measures.The system also uses a chip (board) on which various Sensors (such as MEMS Sensor, Fire Sensor, Inductive Proximity Sensor, & Ultrasonic Sensor) are embedded which are controlled through IoT.These sensors monitors and controls the parameters like tilting, burning and cutting of the trees, and these are accessed on Android App installed in Android Smart phone.
