title = "A web-based communication module design of a real-time multi-sensor fire detection and notification system",
abstract = "This paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based communication module of a multi-sensor fire detection system and notification system. A SIM900 Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) module is used to send fire alerts to building owners and the web-based fire notification subsystem in real-time. The web-based notification system is intended for remote notification of fire alerts, allows fire and rescue crew to receive notifications of a fire outbreak in real time. Also implemented was a map based navigation system to guide the fire and rescue crew to the location of a fire outbreak. This component is crucial in areas and situations with less than ideal planning to improve the response times during a fire outbreak. A comparison between the efficiency of the notification system employed by standard fire detectors and the multi-sensor remote based notification approach adopted in this paper showed significant improvements in the form of timely detection, alerting and response.",
