Design and Implementation of an IoT System for Monitoring Ecological Environment

Abstract

This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) system to effectively monitor and analyze ecological environments in real time. Firstly, we present the overall architecture of the proposed IoT system including multiple layers. Then, focusing on several important modules within the cloud layer, this paper elaborates on the corresponding design concepts and implementation methods. Moreover, leveraging Geographic Information System technology, spatial data visualization is designed and implemented at the application layer to provide users with intuitive perceptions of ecological environment changes. Finally, this proposed IoT system is deployed and operated in a suburban environment while extensive experiments are conducted. The experimental results indicate that the system works well in terms of graphical user interface performance, network utilization efficiency, sensory data collection, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the system design.
