Application of LoRa WAN Sensor and IoT for Environmental Monitoring in Riau Province Indonesia

Land and forest fires especially in Riau Province, Indonesia, have affected the length and breadth of Indonesia. The fires are normally hampered by seasonal dry conditions such as El Nino effect. In addition, the haze has affected the neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore and south of Thailand. The effects of haze on human health as reported in that particular year were about 20 million people have suffered from respiratory problems and serious deterioration in overall health. There were other effects on environment, economy, flora and fauna in Southeast Asia region due to this disaster. This research proposes to develop a smart monitoring system using Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRa WAN) with low power wireless data communication and Internet of Things (IoT) technology. With LoRa technology, data can be transmitted up to 30 miles which is worthwhile to cover some of Riau Province that have been badly impacted by this disaster. In this article propose to develop sensors system that capable of detecting land and forest fire. The sensors will be located at several locations that has badly impacted previously. LoRa IoT Technology will be deployed to provide a platform for connecting the sensors. An early indication of land or forest fires is vital for quick prevention before they become uncontrollable and overwhelming. The design and development of LoRa sensors give high feasibility to overcome current issues in Riau Province because of land and forest fire

Indoor vehicles geolocalization using LoRaWAN

[EN] One of the main drawbacks of Global Navigation Satellite Sytems (GNSS) is that they do not work indoors. When inside, there is often no direct line from the satellite signals to the device and the ultra high frequency (UHF) used is blocked by thick, solid materials such as brick, metal, stone or wood. In this paper, we describe a solution based on the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) technology to geolocalise vehicles indoors. Through estimation of the behaviour of a LoRaWAN channel and using trilateration, the localisation of a vehicle can be obtained within a 20¿30 m range. Indoor geolocation for Intelligent Transporation Systems (ITS) can be used to locate vehicles of any type in underground parkings, keep a platoon of trucks in formation or create geo-fences, that is, sending an alert if an object moves outside a defined area, like a bicycle being stolen. Routing of heavy vehicles within an industrial setting is another possibility.This work was partially supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Programa Estatal de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Orientada a los Retos de la Sociedad, Proyectos I+D+I 2018 , Spain, under Grant RTI2018-096384-B-I00.Manzoni, P.; Tavares De Araujo Cesariny Calafate, CM.; Cano, J.; Hernández-Orallo, E.

Shortest Route at Dynamic Location with Node Combination-Dijkstra Algorithm

Abstract— Online transportation has become a basic requirement of the general public in support of all activities to go to work, school or vacation to the sights. Public transportation services compete to provide the best service so that consumers feel comfortable using the services offered, so that all activities are noticed, one of them is the search for the shortest route in picking the buyer or delivering to the destination. Node Combination method can minimize memory usage and this methode is more optimal when compared to A* and Ant Colony in the shortest route search like Dijkstra algorithm, but can’t store the history node that has been passed. Therefore, using node combination algorithm is very good in searching the shortest distance is not the shortest route. This paper is structured to modify the node combination algorithm to solve the problem of finding the shortest route at the dynamic location obtained from the transport fleet by displaying the nodes that have the shortest distance and will be implemented in the geographic information system in the form of map to facilitate the use of the system.
