Solution Name

IoT Based Hazard Environment Alert System (iHEAS)

Solution Description

Using IoT Sensors, iHEAS collects, analyses, displays and disseminates local environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and water level over predefined areas. It uses environmentally hardened digital displays to provide critical environmental information and hazard warnings to the public.

Use Case

Using outdoor IoT sensors for temperature, humidity and water level (flooding detection) etc, iHEAS collects critical data of a microenvironment such as country park trails. The data is channeled via an IoT network, e.g. LoRaWAN to a Cloud Computing Platform with rule-based analysis. The results are displayed at strategically placed outdoor, environmentally hardened digital signage in condensed and easy-to-understand forms. It generates analytic reports and disseminates them to other B/D.

The iHEAS provides the public with real-time, on-the-spot advice on the suitability (or unsuitability) of embarking on outdoor activities and acts as a deterrent should the conditions prove undesirable. It prevents over-ambitious undertaking of visits and minimizes life-threatening incidents. In the medium term, it helps to reduce the reactive emergency rescue missions by Fire, Police and Flying Services and save emergency dispatches for people with real needs.

It synergizes the existing educational and alert systems of various government B/D.
