Abstract

Earthquakes are unpredictable natural events that cause a high number of casualties every year. During an earthquake, furniture and mobile equipment can either become obstacles or act as passive life safety systems by providing safe shelter for people involved in the event. The combination of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and anti-seismic furniture could serve as a means to transform them into intelligent protection systems to protect people in case of an earthquake, facilitating their detection and localization during the rescue operations through the integration of a supportive Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. In this article, we report about the design and development of the SAFE ICT Platform which comprises wireless IoT devices integrated into anti-seismic furniture that activate in response to earthquakes to signal the presence of individuals needing rescue. The SAFE ICT Platform also includes local and cloud computing systems for device management and monitoring, alongside a localization and support system to assist rescuers in pinpointing and aiding individuals. A comprehensive evaluation scenario of the proposed solution is also discussed.

SAFE：支持地震监测、定位和救援行动的信息和通信技术平台

地震是不可预测的自然事件，每年都会造成大量人员伤亡。地震发生时，家具和移动设备既可能成为障碍物，也可能成为被动的生命安全系统，为人们提供安全的庇护所。将物联网（IoT）设备与抗震家具相结合，可以将它们转化为智能保护系统，在地震发生时保护人们的安全，并通过集成支持性信息和通信技术（ICT）基础设施，在救援行动中促进对它们的检测和定位。在本文中，我们将介绍 SAFE ICT 平台的设计和开发，该平台由集成到抗震家具中的无线物联网设备组成，这些设备在地震发生时会启动，以发出需要救援人员出现的信号。SAFE ICT 平台还包括用于设备管理和监控的本地和云计算系统，以及用于协助救援人员精确定位和救助个人的定位和支持系统。此外，还讨论了拟议解决方案的综合评估方案。
