Abstract: A detection and prediction system, method, and server are provided. The system includes data collecting devices configured to connect to a network and a server for receiving environmental data from the devices, the data including location data, historical environmental data, and real-time environmental data, populating a map of a geographic area where the devices are disposed, receiving weather data through the wildfire detection network, determining a probability of a wildfire at a plurality of locations within the geographic area from the environmental data and the weather data, and determining whether an anomaly has occurred within the geographic area based on the real-time environmental data.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for detection and network configuration. A system includes data processing devices and a server including a processor and a memory, the memory storing computer-executable instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the network configuration server to receive a plurality of synchronization and mapping messages from the plurality of data processing devices and the network gateway over a network for a predetermined period of time, determine a network architecture based upon the plurality of synchronization and mapping messages, the network architecture including a plurality of modes of operation of the plurality of data processing devices, a frequency channel for the plurality of data processing devices for transmission of environmental data, an optimization path, and an identity of a data processing device for transmission to another data processing device, and communicate the network architecture to the plurality of data processing devices over the network.

Abstract: The environmental data monitoring system comprises an array of sensing nodes, disposed spaced-apart and arranged in a linear topology along a communication path, the array including: a tail-end node; a head-end node; and a plurality of intermediate nodes, the intermediate nodes including a first intermediate node disposed towards the head-end node; a last intermediate node arranged towards the tail-end node; and a plurality of middle intermediate nodes disposed between the first and the last intermediate nodes. The system provides for environmental data collection and analysis using a network of linearly arranged sensing nodes, each determining and transmitting location-indexed environmental data, culminating in a comprehensive data stream aggregated and analyzed by a cloud server.
