Zigbee-based Location System For

Forest Search and Rescue Missions

Abstract

- This paper presents

the framework of a Zigbee based

rescue robot for missing people in
forest environment. An RFID tag is
given to each person who enters
into the forest. GPS and Zigbee
modules are placed in different
locations in the forest . If
microcontroller detects the persons
tag then it will send the
information about location of the
particular person through GPS
module and the RFID reader receives
information i.e. forests name ,
longitudinal and latitudinal
coordinates from the tag on the
closest tree/location.
It consists of a
transmitter and a receiver section.
The receiver consists of two sections
the ROBO section and the control
section. ROBO section will send the
information received from the RFID
reader to the control unit through
Zigbee. In control unit we operate
all this by using lab view. Finally,
the missing person is localized. The

required power supply can be

obtained by using solar energy , this
can be achieved by using a solar
panel.
