Due to the ongoing rising temperatures, wildfires are becoming more prominent. Common places where this occurs are in the US, South America and Africa
Based on the research, the following PDS was produced. The main idea is to get people to evacuate quickly in a safe manner.
Current competition for wildfire evacuation devices
Sketching concepts based on nature
Using Arduino to map out the functionality.
After testing various arduino boards the following components and setup created a fully functioning wildfire detector
The Manufacturing Process
Using a material graph helped to select the final materials for the product.
