Fire Safety Vehicle

Description

The fire safety vehicle is a compact and efficient robotic system designed to detect and respond to fire hazards. Controlled by an Arduino Nano, it uses fire sensors to identify flames, moves toward the fire using a servo motor mechanism, and triggers visual and audible alerts with LEDs and a buzzer. This system is ideal for fire detection in hazardous or inaccessible areas.

Components

1. Arduino Nano: The microcontroller that processes sensor data and controls the vehicle’s operations.
2. Servo Motor: Allows directional movement for targeting fire sources.
3. Fire Sensor: Detects flames and signals the Arduino to initiate a response.
4. Buzzer: Emits an audible alert when fire is detected.
5. Switch: Used to power the system on or off.
6. LED: Provides a visual indicator of system activity or alerts.
7. LM7806 Voltage Regulator: Ensures a stable 6V power supply for the components.
8. DC Jack: Connects the system to an external power source.

Working

1. Power Supply: The system is powered through a DC jack, with the LM7806 regulator providing a stable voltage.
2. Fire Detection:
   • The fire sensor continuously scans for flames.
   • When a flame is detected, it sends a signal to the Arduino Nano.
3. Response Mechanism:
   • The Arduino activates the servo motor to steer the vehicle toward the fire source.
   • The LED and buzzer are triggered to alert nearby personnel of the fire.
4. Manual Control: A switch allows the user to easily turn the system on or off as needed.

Benefits

1. Quick Detection: Fire sensors enable rapid identification of flames, reducing response time.
2. Safety: The vehicle operates autonomously, minimizing risks for human responders.
3. Compact and Efficient: Lightweight design ensures mobility and adaptability in confined or hazardous areas.
4. Audible and Visual Alerts: Enhances awareness for immediate action by personnel.
5. Cost-Effective: Simple design with affordable components makes it accessible for various applications.
6. Customizable: Easily programmable to adapt to specific fire safety scenarios.

This system is a practical solution for early fire detection and response, particularly in industrial or high-risk environments.
