Rescuing system design

There are many different technologies and equipment to search for objects underground today including mine ore, water, mineral or oil, but almost none of those technologies and equipment are applied to searching for people. This research will help to define what kinds of detecting methods exist, and what kind of technologies could be possibly applied for detecting human beings underground. ... The primary goal is to develop a new system for rescuing people under special circumstances such as building collapses, earthquakes, and being trapped underground (e.g., mine shaft collapses). There are many different technologies that could be applied to these situations. However, many of these technologies and devices are not appropriate for these sensitive circumstances. The most important process through this thesis is to find the best and most accurate technologies for detecting and locating victims underground, and to define the most efficient system to save as many lives as possible. This thesis proposes and suggests the best way to rescue trapped people underground. It will solve the problems we have faced for a long time, and help rescuers to protect victims\u27 lives as well as their own

Tactical Communications for Cooperative SAR Robot Missions

This chapter describes how the ICARUS communications (COM) team defined, developed and implemented an integrated wireless communication system to ensure an interoperable and dependable networking capability for both human and robotic search and rescue field teams and crisis managers. It starts explaining the analysis of the requirements and the context of the project, the existing solutions and the design of the ICARUS communication system to fulfil all the project needs. Next, it addresses the implementation process of the required networking capabilities, and finally, it explains how the ICARUS communication system and associated tools have been integrated in the overall mission systems and have been validated to provide reliable communications for real‐time information sharing during search and rescue operations in hostile conditions
