INTRODUCTION
The aim of this project is to monitor the health of the animals
present in the Wildlife Sanctuaries and National Parks. Here the physiological
conditions of the animals are monitored by sensors and the output of these
sensors is transmitted via WiFi Module there to a server system i.e. a mobile
phone. The remote wireless monitor is constructed of GPS and a phone. The
measured signal has to be sent to the mobile phone, which can be data
collection.
MOTIVATION
Nowadays
life of wild animals is in danger. Wild animals used to move freely in the Wildlife Sanctuary or in National Parks. If any accident (any injury) happens to them in the National Park, physical
injury or any disease may cause even death of animals in the National Park. In such
situations, we cannot find out the exact location of animal in such a large area.
To avoid such problems in finding the exact location of animals in the National Parks, wildlife
animal tracking system is used.
Components:-
- GPS Modem.
- Temperature Sensor.
- Pulse Sensor.
- Microcontroller.
- Wi-Fi Module.
GPS Modem:
We have used GPS modem to receive the longitude and latitude of
the location of the animal. This GPS modem communicates using serial
communication with the microcontroller. GPS modem sends data to the
microcontroller. This bunch of Data contains many parameters which include
longitude and latitude.
Temperature Sensor:
The temperature sensor is used to sense the body temperature of
an animal to determine the health of the animal. Temperature sensor is an
analog sensor, which means it gives variable voltage as per the variation in the
body temperature.
Pulse Sensor:
Here we
have used a heart beat sensor to continuously monitor the beat rate of the
animal. This sensor is also interfaced with the microcontroller and
provides the monitored data to it.
Microcontroller:
This is the important block of this project. It performs various
functions like, reading coordinates from GPS modem. It finds out the longitude
and latitude from this data. As the temperature sensor gives variable voltage
as per the variation in analog values, it coverts those analog values into
digital and it also reads the sensor values & displays the values in Serial
Monitor.
Wi-Fi Module:
Wi-Fi
Module ESP8266 is used here. It is integrated with TCP/IP protocol stack that
can give any microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. It is capable of
hosting an application. It collects the data from the PIC microcontroller and
sends it to the Android application on the National Park officer’s phone.
ACTUAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF SYSTEM
To the neck of the animal this lightweight designed system is
attached such that the temperature sensor will be very close to the body of
that animal. Thus body temperature is sensed and sent to the microcontroller
properly. GPS modem will receive string from satellites and send it to
microcontroller.
Then the microcontroller will extract latitude and longitude
information from the string and sends the sensor values to Serial Monitor. From
Serial Monitor, the data is sent to the Database and after receiving the data
from the web app, the National Park officer will come to know the body temperature and
location information.
CONCLUSION
The
android app in the phones of National Park officers will allow them to keep the track
of the wildlife from anywhere and at all times. The notification system will
alert them immediately, if anything is wrong with the animal and they can reach
there soon as they will know the exact location. This method is fast and
convenient as compared to other systems. This does not require human attention
as this is a completely self-independent and an automated system. So, this
project will help us save the wildlife by detecting their location and monitoring
the health of the animals.
CHALLENGES
1) In actual use, this project will be operated on a rechargeable
battery. So this battery needs to be recharged. For the longer operation of the
battery, we need to use low power consumption devices, ICs and components; this
will increase the cost of the system.
2) Sensor values are not accurate and also as we are connecting
two to three sensors to the single arduino we will have issues of power
supply.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
We can add more sensors to monitor the health parameters of
animals. By increasing the sensors we can determine other hygienic
parameters of animals.
With the use of the internet it becomes easy to locate animals on
Google maps thus pictorial representation is also possible. Thus we can locate
and save the life of animals from various diseases as well.
We can boost signal on phone by switching from 3G to 2G. It may, however, consequently
lead to a lag in the Internet speed, “Switching to 2G can allow users to get
better voice signal as long as operators’ 2G coverage in that area is better
than 3G coverage.
Install boosters: A booster can amplify cell phone signal and retransmit it to
areas in National Park that receive little or no signal. While installing the signal
booster, choose a place carefully as it should be placed in an area that
receives good signal. This may not upgrade to a flawless powerful network, but
you are likely to have an improved connection.
