Abstract

Real-time smart applications are now possible because to developments in communication and sensor technology. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are used to collect data from specific disaster sites, such as fire events, gas leaks, land mines, earthquake, landslides, etc., where it is necessary to know the exact location of the detected information to safely rescue the people. For instance, the detection and disposal of explosive materials is a difficult task because land mines consistently threaten human life. Here, the T-based Routing Topology (TRT) is suggested to gather data from sensors (metal detectors, Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR), Infra-Red sensors, etc.), Global Positioning System (GPS), and cameras in land mine-affected areas. Buried explosive materials can be found and located with high accuracy. Additionally, it will be simpler to eliminate bombs and reduce threats to humans. The efficiency of the suggested data collection method is evaluated using Network Simulator-2 (NS-2). Also, the proposed T-based routing topology requires a minimal number of nodes to cover the entire searching area and establish effective communication. In contrast, the number of nodes participating in the sensing area grows, as the depth of the tree increases in the existing tree topology-based data gathering. And for cluster topology, the number of nodes deployment depends on the transmission range of the sensor nodes.
