Spot That Fire V3.0

Recent wildfires worldwide have demonstrated the importance of rapid wildfire detection, mitigation, and community impact assessment analysis. Your challenge is to develop and/or augment an existing application to detect, predict, and assess the economic impacts from actual or potential wildfires by leveraging high-frequency data from a new generation of geostationary satellites, data from polar-orbiting environmental satellites, and other open-source datasets.

Fire Bypass

Summary

We have created a program and an implement for GPS and also for other methods of territorial consultation such as Google Maps and Google Earth, which allows you to find the location of the fires and all the information of the fire, such as, wind direction and speed, high or low flames, etc.; Thus notifying firefighters, environmental protectors and people who are passing through the highways or who usually pass through the site.

How We Addressed This Challenge


Systems for the location of forest fires already exist but have not yet found a solution to the whole problem, our proposal is based on the problems that the same fires cause on highways and how drivers and civilians in the vicinity of the fire deal with these problems. 


How We Developed This Project


Our idea at the beginning was to solve the question of how to map forest areas successfully, even though it is a giant challenge, but with discussions about the consequences of forest fires came the question of how to protect and notify people who transit the highways without information of what happens around them, that's when the idea of the "Fire Bypass" came about.

We started developing in Mockups, an illustrative way of what our physical project would look like, created the images in Photoshop, and finished the presentation in PowerPoint.


How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We use the "FIRMS" fire satellite to filter data and locate forest fires.
