New inexpensive Wi-Fi system improves fire detection

Posted in internet, robotics/AI

A Sydney Harbor Tunnel explosion showcases the work of UNSW researchers using wireless signals and artificial intelligence to more accurately identify dangerous fire situations.

Engineers from UNSW Sydney have developed a new fire detection system that could help save lives by monitoring the changes in Wi-Fi signals.

And a controlled test detonation of a car, planned by the Sydney Harbor Tunnel Company, recently provided further data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology.
