Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are being developed in the agriculture and weather station sectors to monitor and manage a number of objects. Sensor network hardware platforms are low-power embedded systems featuring a variety of sensors, such as on-board sensors and analogue I/O ports for adding sensors. The design of genuine environmental monitoring and communication systems is greatly aided by the creation of a WSN. A WSN is a collection of sensors that are geographically spread and specialized for monitoring and recording environmental variables and storing the findings in a central location. Limited power consumption as sensor nodes works on batteries, Nodes are mobile opposed to conventional wires, Usage in harsh environment, Nodes can be deployed in any fashion over an area, Easy to use and multi-layer design operation these are the main characteristics of WSN. Limits imposed on the energy storage device by their applications and deployment settings are less relevant to WSN environment-monitoring applications than controlling power consumption and optimizing data transmission. A WSN is used to record real-time traffic and environmental data in order to develop descriptive and predictive models for determining the optimum routes to reduce traffic congestion and, as a result, urban pollution.

Mental stress is a psychological or emotional strain that typically occurs because of threatening, challenging, and overwhelming conditions and affects human behavior. Various factors, such as professional, environmental, and personal pressures, often trigger it. In recent years, various deep learning (DL)-based schemes using electroencephalograms (EEGs) have been proposed. However, the effectiveness of DL-based schemes is challenging because of the intricate DL structure, class imbalance problems, poor feature representation, low-frequency resolution problems, and complexity of multi-channel signal processing. This paper presents a novel hybrid DL framework, BDDNet, which combines a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and deep belief network (DBN). BDDNet provides superior spectral–temporal feature depiction and better long-term dependency on the local and global features of EEGs. BDDNet accepts multiple EEG features (MEFs) that provide the spectral and time-domain features of EEGs. A novel improved crow search algorithm (ICSA) was presented for channel selection to minimize the computational complexity of multichannel stress detection. Further, the novel employee optimization algorithm (EOA) is utilized for the hyper-parameter optimization of hybrid BDDNet to enhance the training performance. The outcomes of the novel BDDNet were assessed using a public DEAP dataset. The BDDNet-ICSA offers improved recall of 97.6%, precision of 97.6%, F1-score of 97.6%, selectivity of 96.9%, negative predictive value NPV of 96.9%, and accuracy of 97.3% to traditional techniques.
