Abstract:

An IoT based agricultural accidents monitoring system has been developed to know cause and analysis of accident also to estimate losses due to agricultural accidents. It has capability to feed and upload data along with live photographs from the spot of accident and from the place of investigation. The system consists of mobile app and a server-based software. Android Studio and Adobe Dreamweaver was used for development of android app for creating, publishing, and managing websites and mobile content while MySQL, J2EEtechnology were used to develop web applications, CVS is a version control system used for Source Configuration Management (SCM). Eclipse was used to develop packages and Apache Tomcat for web server environment in which Java code can run. The developed multi lingual application is user friendly with multilevel security and can be operated by persons using any android-based mobile phone. The system can generate reports as per the access authentication. The analysis includes accidents type and nature, total number, farm machinery related, hand-tools related and other accidents. Apart from research organizations this system can revolutionize safety in agriculture through manufacturers, policy makers, insurance companies for implementation of more safety features, safety standards on the equipment, creating awareness whereby bringing down accidents to the minimum level for more safe tomorrow in the field of agriculture.
