Weather monitoring and warning system for fisherman’s through GSM

INTRODUCTION:

Monitoring the weather conditions manually is difficult. This is the implementation of an automated system which monitors the weather conditions and sends the details to central server through Zigbee protocol. The central server has the database of mobile numbers of the entire fisherman’s in the nearby area. The weather conditions are reported the fisherman’s using SMS. The weather conditions like humidity, atmospheric pressure are measured and reported. The fisherman’s will receive the details of whether the conditions are ideal for fishing or not.

Functional block diagram:

The measurement unit consists of a pressure sensor which monitors the atmospheric pressure and a humidity sensor which monitors the humidity in air. The parameters are transferred to a central server through xbee.

The base station consists of a personal computer with a database containing list of cell phone numbers of the entire fisherman. The parameters are analyzed and then ideality for fishing is send as an SMS to the entire fisherman’s.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
