Remote monitoring system with wireless network to support rescue operations

Abstract

Rapid and appropriate rescue operations should be taken in the scene when accidents or fires occur. It is very important for such operation that rescue team members constantly communicate with each other in the site, and the base station located near the site should be aware of the team members' positions and situations to direct them effectively. A remote monitoring system with ZigBee devices as a wireless communication method is developed for the rescue operations in disaster areas or special places outside the scope of mobile phones. The system can keep track of members' situations and help every member to communicate, and also can enhance the security and work efficiency of rescue teams' performances at the scene.
