Abstract:
ABSTRACT
Animal invasion and human animal conflict is a major problem faced by farmers
especially who lives nearby forest areas. Human animal conflict refers to negative
interaction between humans and wildlife that result in losses in terms of life, property or
resources. Major factors causing human-animal conflict are urbanisation, agricultural
expansion, lack of protected areas etc. A system was developed as a solution for this
problem. Animal invasion can be prevented using the developed system which did not
cause any harm to the animal. It is an IoT based system using sensors, microcontroller and
other components. The device works on the basis of sensor detecting any motion. PIR
sensor is used for motion detection and Arduino Uno was the microcontroller used.
Nuisance was reduced, since the deterrent mechanism works only when motion is
detected. Also, it helps prevent the adaptation of animal to this deterrent mechanism.
Arduino Uno works according to the code uploaded to it using Arduino IDE coding
platform using C programming language. It was found that the system was effective
against animal invasion.
