High Wave Detection Smart Buoy using Internet of Things

Accurate measurement of high waves in aquatic environments, particularly in sea areas, is essential to quantitatively assess water characteristics. These characteristics exhibit frequent fluctuations, involving intricate and stochastic wave patterns as well as water levels. This inherent complexity poses challenges for precise measurement. To address this issue, a practical solution involves the development of a straightforward yet effective device – the smart buoy, housing an array of microcontroller components. Within this project, wave and water level measurements are facilitated through the utilization of key equipment, including the MPU-6050 sensor, Ultrasonic HC-SR04, and Arduino Mega 2560. These components are seamlessly integrated into a buoyant platform, with the Arduino Mega orchestrating their functionality. The amassed data is subsequently subjected to analysis using fuzzy logic techniques, enabling the categorization of wave types into safe, cautionary, or hazardous levels. The accomplishment of this objective necessitates the establishment of a robust device infrastructure, alongside comprehensive field testing to validate its operational performance under real-world conditions.
