[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 support decision for the "Comprehensive Support Project for Demonstration Experiments" in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, was made for the demonstration of "Pest control measures 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 agricultural products 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 a decrease in those engaged in pest control due to the aging of the population. This demonstration experiment aims to improve the efficiency of capture results traditionally 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 information, leading to more effective captures.
