National Parks are facing many challenges in the present day and will face additional challenges in the future. The goal of this project was to explore the feasibility of using future advancements in technology to realize a Smart Park Grid, similar to the Smart City Grids currently in use. This was achieved by investigating the future of data acquisition, sensing and image capture technologies, data transmission and communication technologies, and analysis and computational methods that apply to National Park problems. The result of this project was a recommendation for the structure of a proposed Smart Park Grid for the National Parks.
