Abstract

Human-elephant conflict (HEC) is the major problem faced by much human habitation. This problem leads to crop damage, human injuries and death caused by elephants, and deleterious effects to the resources. These pachyderms intrusion is increasing day by day particularly in forest border areas. Nowadays Prevention system for human-elephant conflict is a necessary one. Continuous monitoring and tracing of elephants is difficult due to its large size and movement. Many methods had been implemented for elephant’s intrusion detection and warning systems. The main aim of the project is to design a wireless sensor network based system for elephant intrusion. Static and mobile sensors are used for the detection of intrusion and a sink node which acts as a base station collects the information from different sensors. The information collected by sink node is based on the priority considering different places of sensor deployment. The message collected is automatically transmitted to the forest officials to avoid the intrusion of elephants. Based on the information received the officials take the proper action.
