Dryadās Silvanet: Early wildfire detection and growth monitoring solutions
Silvanet combines a resilient, solar-powered mesh-network backbone with advanced sensor arrays to detect fires long before they reach critical thresholds. Self-healing mesh nodes blanket even remote forest zones, transmitting data to the cloud without relying on existing telecom infrastructure. AI-enabled gas sensors monitor trace concentrations of combustion by-products such as CO and VOCs, using machine-learning models to distinguish genuine fire signatures from biogenic or industrial background emissions. Through web and mobile interfaces, Silvanet visualises sensor heatmaps, time-series risk curves and predicted fire-growth corridors, allowing land managers and first responders to pre-position resources and conduct targeted patrols before small ignitions escalate into large wildfires.
