R.A.D.I.S.S is a project carried out by 6th year Secondary School students which deals with the problem of underground fires. As we already know, forest fires are a problem that happens in all parts of the world. Underground fires can burn undetected even for months. This is why the detection of this type of fire is key.
Below, I share the state of the art in which the problem is cut and what is known about it to date.
The selection of this topic is based on the importance of understanding underground fires as a global threat and the need to explore innovative solutions to mitigate their impacts. Although these fires can have various causes, from human activities to natural phenomena, they usually go unnoticed for long periods before appearing on the surface. This phenomenon, combined with the complexity of extinguishing them, underlines the urgency of developing advanced strategies and technologies to efficiently prevent, detect and control underground fires.
It occurred to us to design a prototype which detects underground fires at their roots; introducing a temperature sensor underground, preventing these major fire problems.
