Tree Monitoring System for Urban Tree Management

Provided herein is a tree monitoring system for urban tree management. The monitoring system (100) includes a plurality of sensing devices (200) and a backend system (300). Each individual sensing device (200) is mountable on a tree for measuring a tilting angle and a direction of tree displacement of the tree. The individual sensing device (200) comprises an IoT communication module (220) and a plurality of detectors (110). The plurality of detectors (110) includes a gyroscope and/or an accelerometer (111) for obtaining a roll angle and a pitch angle; and a vibration sensor (112) configured to measure a vibration amplitude and a sway frequency of the tree. The IoT communication module (220) is communicable with the backend system (300) in real-time. The backend system (300) has a system architecture based on big data analytics and machine learning approaches and is configured to produce models for deeper insights on properties of tree movements.
