IOT based Hazardous Gas Detection System using AVR Microcontroller

Abstract

Health Safety is a major issue in current era and good safety systems are needed to be implemented in places which are related to work, education and living. This project that we are working on modifies the existing safety model installed in the industrial areas and this system can also be used in houses and offices. The main objective of our project is to design a AVR microcontroller based combustible and Hazardous gas detecting and alerting system. As it isqquiet often that we heard about various accidents that are being occurred due to combustible gases, i.e., LPG, LNG, propane, butane and other flammable gases. Frequently we hear, explosion in cylinder of household and vehicles, as well as accidents in industries, mines, etc. Several people have been injured and some got dead. So we are working on a project in which we are using new technology which is being used to make every existing digital system more smart, internet of things (iot). It provides real time information available on internet for faster accessing with a gas sensor that can detect various other hazardous gases. The advantage of this auto detection and alerting system over the traditionally used manual method is that it offers quickest response time possible and accurate detection of an emergency situation and in turn helps in faster diffusion of the critical situation.
