The main aim of this project is to detect Elephants near Railway Lines or near busy roads and to send the signal to the forest department so that Human-Animal conflict can be prevented and by this we can also save the life of elephants. ...learn more

Overview / Usage
In the North East region there is always an issue of Human-Elephant conflict. Many Elephants has lost their life accidentally by coming into the Railway track or even on the Road . Due to this we are not only loosing the Elephant's life but also people's life are coming into danger in these regions. So my aim is to anyhow detect the Elephants before they come into danger and then to send a message to the required department so that conflict can be prevented.
So I am making a prototype which will detect Elephant's Vibrations and using ANN (Artificial Neural Network) it will check whether the vibrations is really generated by Elephant or not. then Using IoT the prototype will send a message to the department.
Methodology / Approach
I am using a sensor called **Geophone **to detect the vibrations of Elephants. Let me give you a brief description about it. Geophone is just like a Mic . There is an Inductor inside this sensor with magnet inside it. So whenever there is a vibration on the sensor, the Inductor actually moves around the magnet and due to change in magnetic flux, the Coil generates some voltage. So More the vibrations is , more will be the generated voltage. This is the main work of the Geophone Sensor.
Now the Voltage generated from the Geophone will be recorded in digital form with the help of Some Analog-to-Digital Converter. We can use any Micro controller board (In my case I am using ESP) to record this digitally. Now this will be sent to a MQTT broker( Adafruit.io in my case ) . Now I will use Intel Devcloud for accessing the data from Adafruit.io.
Now the most important thing comes. As we will be having several Geophone sensors. so we will have multiple data . So I will use **Artificial Neural Network (ANN) **to check whether the vibrations are actually generating from the Elephants or it is anything else. If it is the vibrations Elephant then a message will be sent to the Forest department.
In this way it gonna work.
