This paper proposes a mobile biological sensor system that can assist in earlydetection of forest fires one of the most dreaded natural disasters on the earth. The main ideapresented in this paper is to utilize animals with sensors as Mobile Biological Sensors(MBS). The devices used in this system are animals which are native animals living inforests, sensors (thermo and radiation sensors with GPS features) that measure thetemperature and transmit the location of the MBS, access points for wireless communicationand a central computer system which classifies of animal actions. The system offers twodifferent methods, firstly: access points continuously receive data about animals' locationusing GPS at certain time intervals and the gathered data is then classified and checked tosee if there is a sudden movement (panic) of the animal groups: this method is called animalbehavior classification (ABC). The second method can be defined as thermal detection(TD): the access points get the temperature values from the MBS devices and send the datato a central computer to check for instant changes in the temperatures. This system may beused for many purposes other than fire detection, namely animal tracking, poachingprevention and detecting instantaneous animal death.
本文提出了一种移动生物传感器系统，该系统可协助早期发现森林火灾，森林火灾是地球上最可怕的自然灾害之一。本文提出的主要想法是利用带有传感器的动物作为移动生物传感器（MBS）。该系统中使用的设备包括生活在森林中的本地动物、用于测量温度并传输移动生物传感器位置的传感器（具有GPS功能的热传感器和辐射传感器）、无线通信接入点以及对动物行为进行分类的中央计算机系统。该系统提供两种不同的方法，首先：接入点在特定时间间隔使用GPS持续接收有关动物位置的数据，然后对收集到的数据进行分类和检查，以查看动物群体是否有突然移动（恐慌）：这种方法称为动物行为分类（ABC）。第二种方法可定义为热检测（TD）：接入点从移动生物传感器设备获取温度值，并将数据发送到中央计算机以检查温度的即时变化。该系统除了用于火灾检测外，还可用于许多其他目的，即动物追踪、偷猎预防和检测动物瞬间死亡。
