چکیده

In a city devastated by flood is common that communication infrastructure is disrupted. An alternate communication infrastructure to provide basic services to victims is proposed in this paper. We introduce an intelligent environment design to handle urban flood alert and rescue scenarios. It is based on three different types of wireless communication networks: a Wireless Sensor Network to measure the level of rivers and alert people living in flood prone lands; an Ad hoc Mobile Network to route messages from victims to care facilities, and a Wireless Mesh Network to handle people information hosted in temporal shelters. The Wireless Mesh Network includes the usage of RFID technology. People hosted in temporal shelters use smart labels to access instantly a website link, send an e-mail, send a SMS or dial a phone number.

Functional Mapping: Spatial Inferencing to Aid Human-Robot Rescue Efforts in Unstructured Disaster Environments

In this paper we examine the case of a mobile robot that is part of a human-robot urban search and rescue (USAR) team. During USAR scenarios, we would like the robot to have a geometrical-functional understanding of space, using which it can infer where to perform planned tasks in a manner that mimics human behavior. We assess the situation awareness of rescue workers during a simulated USAR sc...

Interactive Learning of Independent Experts' Criteria for Rescue Simulations

Efficient response to natural disasters has an increasingly important role in limiting the toll on human life and property. The work we have undertaken seeks to improve existing models by building a Decision Support System (DSS) of resource allocation and planning for natural disaster emergencies in urban areas. A multi-agent environment is used to simulate disaster response activities, taking ...
