IOT-BASED AGRICULTURE VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

In response to the growing demand for more efficient agricultural practices, we introduce an innovative Internet of Things (IoT)-based Agriculture Vehicle Monitoring System designed to boost productivity while minimizing environmental impact. This system employs a diverse array of sensors, including those for temperature, humidity, air quality, and fuel levels, enabling real-time data collection and remote monitoring. At the heart of this system lies an Arduino microcontroller, acting as the central processing unit. Crucial environmental data is collected through temperature and humidity sensors, while an air quality sensor ensures a thorough assessment of the agricultural environment. A DC fan is incorporated for immediate temperature regulation, activating when predetermined thresholds are surpassed. Fuel monitoring sensors contribute to effective resource management. Connectivity is achieved through GSM and WiFi modules, enabling seamless communication with the ThingSpeak cloud platform. The GSM module facilitates SMS alerts for critical conditions, ensuring timely notifications. Concurrently, the Wi-Fi module uploads comprehensive data to ThingSpeak, allowing for remote monitoring and in-depth analysis. This proposed IoT-based system significantly enhances the efficiency of agricultural vehicles by providing real-time insights into temperature, humidity, air quality, and fuel levels. The integration of environmental control measures ensures the welfare of crops and livestock during transportation or field operations. Not only does this technology optimize resource management, but it also aligns with the principles of sustainable agriculture, addressing the evolving demands of modern farming. Designed to be scalable and adaptable, the system offers a versatile solution for precision agriculture, facilitating the seamless integration of smart technologies into conventional farming practices.
