Project Blue
Empowering communities to act quickly and save lives with smart fire detection technology.
"Project Blue" is a fire detection system designed to help communities respond quickly in emergencies. Sensors are placed on electrical posts to detect fires, and when flames are detected, the sensors send out a Bluetooth signal. People nearby can use the Project Blue app, which picks up the signal, allows them to report the fire, and sends an alert to the fire station. Users can also register their mobile number in the app to receive real-time updates and track the fire’s location on a map, helping both citizens and firefighters respond faster.
Objectives
Enhance Early Fire Detection:Develop and deploy a system that accurately detects heat signals indicating potential fire hazards, allowing for immediate response.
Reduced False Alarms: This ensures that only those who are actually near the potential fire can validate the alert, reducing the chances of remote prank reporting.
Promote Technological Integration:Leverage existing infrastructure, such as streetlights and mobile devices, to create a cost-effective and scalable fire detection network.
Facilitate Rapid Reporting:Enable nearby citizens and devices to receive and transmit fire alerts in real-time through Bluetooth technology, ensuring swift communication with emergency services.
Targets & Beneficiaries
-
- City planners, local government authorities, and smart city initiatives.
- Municipalities seeking to enhance urban safety infrastructure, integrate advanced fire detection systems, and promote public safety.
-
- Fire chiefs, emergency response coordinators, and public safety officers.
- Fire departments looking to improve their response times, reduce fire-related damage, and save lives through more efficient fire detection and reporting.
-
- Residents in urban areas, homeowners, and community members.
- Individuals and families who benefit from early fire detection, increased safety, and the ability to quickly report fire incidents through the mobile app.
Components
Heat Sensors: Placed strategically in areas prone to fire, these sensors continuously monitor the temperature. They are capable of detecting significant heat increases that may indicate the presence of a fire. The sensors are designed to detect abnormal temperature levels and can trigger an alert when a certain threshold is reached.
Bluetooth Modules: Integrated with each heat sensor, the Bluetooth modules are responsible for transmitting data wirelessly to nearby mobile devices. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is used to ensure low power consumption and efficient data transmission.
Mobile App: The mobile app acts as an intermediary between the heat sensor and the cloud server. It syncs with the sensor’s Bluetooth module, receives the data, and transmits it to the cloud server. The app also provides a user interface for citizens to manually verify and send alerts.
Dashboard: It is a central monitoring system used by fire departments and other emergency services. It displays real-time data, including the location of the detected heat, time of detection, and any additional relevant details. The dashboard can also generate reports and provide a historical view of detected incidents.
Key Features
Real-Time Fire Detection and Alert System:Infrared flame sensors on electrical posts continuously monitor for fires and send out Bluetooth signals when flames are detected, ensuring early detection and immediate response capabilities.
Mobile App for Community Reporting and Updates:The Project Blue app allows users to detect Bluetooth signals from nearby fire sensors, report the fire to the fire station, and view real-time updates on a map. Users can also register their mobile numbers to receive continuous notifications on fire activity.
Centralized Dashboard for Fire Stations:A dashboard at the fire station receives real-time alerts from the app, displaying the fire’s exact location on a detailed map, enabling firefighters to respond quickly and accurately to emergencies.
