The parkdata Project
IoT for National Parks
Here is where we say a lot of nifty things about great we are.
Recent advances in low power wireless technologies have enabled simple, high-speed connectivity to sensors used for gathering environmental data. Much of the currently deployed sensor infrastructure in the park system, however, is not designed to support wireless connectivity. As a result, park staff are required to visit each sensor site and make manual connections to devices to download data for applications like trail use monitoring. Sometimes these sensors are in areas with rugged terrain, adding to the difficulty in extracting the information and even increasing risk to the safety of park personelle. We propose to explore adding a low-power wireless link, (Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi and LoRAWAN) to novel environmental sensors to allow ‘touchless’ access to this information.
