Desenvolvimento de protótipo de aquisição de dados de localização de transportes fluviais na Região Amazônica utilizando rádio LoRa

Abstract

This work presents the viability of using Lora technology to obtain the location of vessels and their monitoring in the Amazon region. The focus is on the development of a physical prototype for sending the location coordinates to another vessel that is nearby, via LoRa radio, to be installed on vessels for use in emergency situations that may occur, such as shipwrecks, contributing to the safety of navigation and vessels in the regions, consequently reducing the financial, environmental and human life impacts that a shipwreck can cause as time is crucial in emergency situations. As a result, a bibliographic review was presented on the context of vessels in the Amazon, in order to understand in general the characteristics of navigation, in addition, technological concepts relevant to the development of work in the areas of microcontrollers, wireless network, Lora and LoraWan, Internet of Things and Geolocation Systems. Finally, a prototype was generated with the functioning of the proposed work.
