Development of IoT-based smart gas leakage detection with alert system

Abstract

Gas leaks present significant and persistent danger, continually threatening lives and properties. Traditional gas leak detection methods often depend on manual inspections and assessments, and they are inherently vulnerable to various shortcomings. This work addressed the challenge of gas leaks by creating an IoT-based gas leakage detection and smart alerting system. This automation, remote and real-time solution provides significant benefits compared to traditional gas detection methods, greatly enhancing safety and reducing the likelihood of gas-related accidents.

By incorporating real-time monitoring capabilities through the MQ-135 sensor, the system continuously tracked gas levels and detected abnormal concentrations. Automated alerts were immediately sent out to users and emergency responders, allowing for a swift response to potential hazards. Additionally, the system’s remote accessibility enables users to monitor gas levels and receive alerts from anywhere, enhancing safety and convenience.

This approach significantly enhances environmental safety by quickly identifying and responding to hazardous gas leaks, thus protecting public health by preventing exposure to toxic gases. Additionally, by reducing the need for manual inspections, the system decreases labour costs and minimizes the potential for human error, leading to more accurate and timely responses to gas leaks.
