This project aims to sense and indicate the fire chance for a specific area. It uses a formula I created which takes in temperature, humidity, wind levels and soil moisture. I used an arduino with multiple sensors connected to it to measure the data.
Formula: (Temperature(C) + Wind Speed(mph) + (100-humidity) + (Soil Moisture content / 100) 200+ is Extreme chance 165 - 200 is Very High chance 130 - 165 is High chance 95-130 is Moderate chance Less than 95 is Low chance
Arduino takes multiple readings to simulate data collected from multiple locations. This data is passed to R and averaged. The average data is finally plugged back into the formula and it outputs the fire chance in the area.
