Lora and IoT Based Device for Disaster and Fleet Management

Abstract

Disaster management is essential for mitigating the widespread effects of natural 
and human-induced disasters, such as loss of life, property damage, and economic 
disruptions. Strategies including hazard assessments, preparedness, and 
international collaboration can help lessen their impact. Technology plays a 
pivotal role in disaster management, with innovations like the Internet of Things 
(IoT) enhancing situational awareness and response capabilities. This paper 
explores the application of LoRa low-power wide-area communication technology 
in disaster management and military operations, particularly for fleet management 
and emergency warfare. The device utilizes a LoRa-based transmitter and receiver 
system, enabling communication across different geographic locations through 
various frequencies. It operates within a specific frequency range and connects to 
a cloud-based interface, serving as an active IoT hub with secure communication 
channels. Real-time data, including analytics and emergency situations, are 
transmitted and displayed, with morse code used for specific indications. 
Government authorities oversee these channels, ensuring rapid response to 
emergencies. The device's compact design and secure communication capabilities 
make it an asset in military and disaster management contexts, offering server-less 
functionality and triggering alerts when necessary.
