Prototype of an Intelligent Firefighter Helmet with Improved Localization System and Toxic Gas Detection for Wildfire Scenarios Universidad Tecnológica Centroamericana - UNITEC - (HN), Honduras Abstract—This paper describes the redesign of an intelligent firefighter helmet prototype aimed at enhancing safety during wildfire suppression in Honduras. Building upon a base system that monitors vital signs (heart rate and blood oxygen), ambient temperature, posture, and location via LoRa technology, the enhanced design integrates several key improvements: a high-speed calibration GPS module, carbon monoxide (CO) detection, and ruggedized thermal and waterproof housing for the electronic components. Furthermore, a redesigned monitoring interface presents both quantitative and qualitative data to provide comprehensive situational awareness for the user and command center. Experimental results demonstrate a GPS accuracy of ±2.5 m, reliable hazardous gas detection, and structural integrity at temperatures up to 85°C. This system improves occupational safety and emergency management by providing real-time data for informed strategic decision-making in wildfire scenarios. | |
