This year’s winner of the Turkey leg of the annual James Dyson Award, an engineering competition, has been announced. ForestGuard 2.0, a satellite-connected sensor system that can detect fires early, won the competition.
A sustainability-focused engineering competition James Dyson AwardIt has been organized annually by the James Dyson Foundation since 2005 and has provided financial support to 390 inventions to date. Applications for this year’s leg of the competition, which is also held in our country, were made in March.
Today, it was announced who won the award in Turkey. The project that won the Turkey leg of the 2023 James Dyson Award was “ForestGuard 2.0”, an IoT-based, satellite-connected sensor system that detects fires ultra-early in real time.
The project, which detected fires early and notified the authorities, won a prize of 5 thousand pounds.
As the national winner of the ForestGuard 2.0 Türkiye leg 5 thousand pounds was rewarded with money. The project was carried out by a student who graduated from Istanbul Kültür University, Department of Architecture in 2016, completed his master’s degree on Architectural Design Information Technology at Istanbul Technical University and simultaneously taught as a Lecturer at Istanbul Bilgi University. Suat Batuhan Esirger Designed by.
According to the statements received, ForestGuard 2.0 focuses on solving a real world problem. The system notifies the authorities when it catches fire with its artificial intelligence integrated gas classification. to intervene before the fire spreads provides. It works as a network in forests using sensor-satellite communication via S-Band RF channel. The modules feature sensitive, broad-spectrum sensors that can measure gas levels, temperature, humidity and air pressure, as well as analyze air for different scenarios.
When an emergency occurs, the sensor modules transmit the collected data to the GeoStationary satellites, which in turn transmit this data to Earth and servers. If an emergency is confirmed on the server, it notifies authorities and the fire department to take action and reduces response time. under 15 minutes You have the opportunity to download.
