Unmanned Surface Vehicle with Drown Map System

The drowning cases that are happened whether in sea or ocean specially increasing cases among refugees requires to employ the advanced technology and tools to encounter this problem. Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing techniques will be applied in marine sector to address the problems of drowning. Internet of things that represented in sensors, actuators…etc. generate a vast number of data that globally known as a Big data, due to the limited storage and processing of the physical units with the big number of data, a cloud computing is adopted to solve this problem. In this paper, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) contains GPS and Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) sensors will be built to discover the location and approximate number of people exposed to drowning. In addition to USV, a real-time map system will be carried out to display this information. All the data and information that generating from the sensors and map system will be stored in a cloud in real-time. This work is a part of the research and development project which is accepted in Turkey Government with the collaboration of the University and Industry.
