Abstract:

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are significant in protecting the habitat of wild animals and preventing animal fatalities resulting from human development. The construction of land transportation systems through the wildlife habitat has compromised the life of wild animals, thus invoking the implementation of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Motivated by these aspects, this article proposes a system incorporating IoT and LoRa-based technology to prevent human-wildlife confrontations by creating a real-time warning to commuters about animal movement on the road. The proposed system, consisting of a vision node, a display layer and a data visualization layer, was realized in real time by deploying the system on a selected road on the animal corridor. Vision node data is transmitted through LoRa communication and visualized on the serial monitor.

Keywords:

IoT, Vision technology, Server, Smart alert, LoRa, Wildlife.
