System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the safety of a vehicle in relation to occurrences of smoke and fire. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, from a radar of a subject vehicle, radar data about a passenger cabin of the subject vehicle. The method includes determining a current state of the passenger cabin according to the radar data. The method includes, responsive to identifying that the current state indicates smoke is present within the passenger cabin, controlling the subject vehicle to generate a response to the smoke.

A computer system in included in a system for providing wildfire evacuation support. The computer system operates to obtain sensor data that represents a wildfire in a target region from a UAV which is deployed within the target region, obtain a current location of an individual in a hazardous situation in the target region, and obtain a desired destination for the individual in the target region. Based on the sensor data, the computer device identifies one or more danger zones that pose a fire-related threat to the individual, and determines at least one evacuation path that extends from the current location to the desired destination while avoiding the one or more danger zones. The computer system may be located at the UAV or on a central computer resource in communication with the UAV.

A method of monitoring an antenna array comprises generating first image data at a first time. The first image data is reproducible as a first image of an antenna array unit. The method further comprises generating second image data at a second time. The second image data is reproducible as a second image of the antenna array unit. The method further comprises comparing the first image data and the second image data. The method further comprises transmitting an alert that is indicative of the presence of at least one with the antenna array unit at the second time. The alert is transmitted in response to the comparison between the first image data and the second image data indicating the presence of the at least one fault with the antenna array unit at the second time.

The present invention relates to system for wirelessly transmitting and receiving self-powered power-free fixed temperature type fire detection, the system comprising: a self-powered fixed temperature type fire detector operating by the heat generated by fire occurrence and self-powered; a receiver for receiving and monitoring a fire occurrence signal through wireless communication according to the operation of the self-powered fixed temperature type fire detector; and an application part for allowing the signal received from the receiver to be notified in real time, wherein the fire detector is wirelessly installed, self-powered, and maximized in dust and water-resistant efficiencies.

According to the present invention, like this, a shape memory alloy spring, which is set to a given temperature, causes shape memory displacement if a fire occurs or ambient temperature is raised, and extends to press a push protrusion to allow the push protrusion to pressurize the contact portion of the dust and water-resistant member, so that a self power generation module operates to generate electricity momentarily and the generated electricity is supplied to a transmitting module as power. After that, the transmitting module transmits an RF signal to the receiver, and under the control of the receiver, a fire occurrence situation and a fire occurrence position are notified in real time by the application part.

A method of detecting a small area wildfire is described. The method includes: (i) receiving, at a processor, an electronic map of an area of interest; (ii) receiving, at the processor from a satellite, location information for a high-altitude balloon disposed above the area of interest; (iii) determining, using the processor and based one or more different types of sensor data that is received from one or more different types of sensors on the high-altitude balloon and the high-altitude balloon location, one or more wildfire locations; (iv) embedding each of the wildfire locations on the electronic map to produce a fire activity map; and (v) causing to display or displaying the fire activity map including the wildfire locations within the area of interest.

Embers created by fires, particularly fires in environments such as grassland, bushland, and forests, can lead to the loss of property and animal and human lives. In addition to the loss of property and lives, fires caused by embers lead to an increase in greenhouse gasses, an increase in the risk associated with an ember attack and/or a fire, and a reduced ability to effectively fight an ember attack and/or a fire. The concept bush/wildfire should be understood to include forest fires, grassland fires, and the like. The present disclosure relates to an ember detector device, a bush/wild fire detection and threat management system, and methods of reducing greenhouse gasses, reducing the risk associated with an ember attack and/or a fire, and enhancing an ability to effectively fight an ember attack and/or a fire.
