[IoT Related] Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture - "Comprehensive Support Project for Demonstration Experiments" has started a demonstration experiment on "Data-driven measures against harmful animals using IoT."

On October 17, 2020, the demonstration project "Comprehensive Support Project for Demonstration Experiments" in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, received support for the "Pest Control Based on Data from IoT-Enabled Wild Boar Detection Sensors and Dashboard Systems." The demonstration period is from January 24, 2021 (Sunday) to March 31, 2021 (Wednesday). In the area around Mount Zao, damage to crops caused by wild boars, as well as human and traffic-related incidents affecting local residents, has been increasing. The deployment rate of capture teams has more than doubled compared to last year, and there is a reality of decreasing participation due to the aging of those involved in pest control efforts. This demonstration experiment aims to enhance the efficiency of capture results, which have traditionally been generated by human activities, by utilizing data obtained through IoT solutions, with the goal of increasing both the number and rate of captures.
The infrared sensors installed at eight locations around Mount Zao detect wild animals such as wild boars and record data including date, time, location, weather, and temperature. Additionally, information from residents and hunting associations regarding sightings will be aggregated to visualize the accumulated wild boar sighting data, leading to more effective captures.
