Smart Ambient Weather Monitoring System for Hikers

摘要

The aim of this paper is to design and develop a user-friendly weather monitoring system that examines weather condition of the surroundings, and thus makes it available to the user from any part of the world. The proposed design is based on Internet of Things (IoT) platforms which come easily to connect the whole world on a network. With this system, it becomes simple and effortless to visualize the changing environmental conditions like relative humidity, temperature, and pressure. To aid hikers by providing information during hiking, a variety of sensors have been used to measure all necessary parameters and Intel Edison has been used to upload the sensor data wirelessly to the cloud. The recorded data can be observed on a web page in form of statistical graphs or on smartphones as required by the user. The device has numerous points of interest in terms of its smaller size, huge memory capacities, lower cost, and more prominent compactness.
