| Abstract | ||
| This paper introduces an innovative smart irrigation system aimed at optimizing water usage in agricultural and landscaped environments. The system comprises two integrated units: Stationary Supply Unit and Sprinkling Vehicle. The stationary unit serves as a centralized control hub, equipped with a thermal imaging camera, environmental sensors, and a motorized hose reel mechanism. It collects and processes environmental data—including temperature, fog, and light intensity—through sensor fusion and image processing algorithms to determine optimal irrigation timing and zones. The vehicle, a mobile sprinkling unit, receives wireless commands from the stationary unit and performs precise irrigation using two types of sprinkler heads: a 360° circular sprinkler and a guided, stepper-motor-controlled directional nozzle. Powerful microcontrollers manage real-time communication and ensure operational synchronization, including built-in safety features to pause activity under adverse conditions. The system effectively minimizes water waste, increases irrigation efficiency, and represents a practical implementation of IoT technologies in sustainable agricultural management. | ||
