DDS-P: Stochastic models based performance of IoT disaster detection systems across multiple geographic areas

Abstract

Effective management of catastrophic events in high-risk zones necessitates a holistic technological approach to protect ecosystems, biodiversity, and native populations. Limitations in sensor range and connectivity hamper real-time data gathering in secluded areas, while financial and technical hurdles hinder the creation of cost-effective, automated systems. This study presents stochastic models, the LoRaW protocol, and cloud technology to enhance sensor deployment simulations. Wireless Sensor Networks and LoRa technology are crucial for extensive monitoring and communication infrastructures. Stochastic Petri Net models optimize system components by assessing crucial performance indicators, such as average response time and system utilization, thus improving disaster response and supporting research hypotheses.
