Abstract

A new form of network has been created with the communication between objects in the Internet of Things environment. Users began to take interests in outdoor activities such as sports and leisure activities while sharing photographs and videos each other. In order to minimize the damage caused by unexpected accidents in response to outdoor climate change, Internet of Things technology is applied to emergency rescue system for quick and efficient rescue. In this article, the unmanned remote smart rescue platform applying Internet of Things technology quickly responds by real-time monitoring of the occurrence of a distress call. The system was developed so that the emergency situation is transferred to the management center and rescue victims within 4 min. The real-time monitoring system of unmanned remote smart rescue box is developed in such a manner that the equipment can be checked for theft and damage from external sources. Sensor multifunction printed circuit board module is developed under Internet of Things environment to be interconnected to single-board computers and various sensors. Thus, the installation of unmanned remote smart rescue box at the actual site delivers accurate positions of rescuees to promptly dispatch personnel to carry out efficient rescue operations.

Highlights

After the start of the Hyper-connectivity Society1 in 2010, the use of smartphones has escalated and further transformed into new paradigms
This study describes the development of an unmanned remote smart rescue platform (URSR-P) using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to improve current operational practices and systems that are found to be inefficient in the event of a safety accident
When the unmanned remote smart rescue box (URSR-B) is opened or the rescue tube is removed from the box, the information is transmitted to the server via the long-term evolution (LTE) router technology in response to the Raspberry Pi and sensor multifunction printed circuit board module (SMPM)

Summary

Introduction

After the start of the Hyper-connectivity Society1 in 2010, the use of smartphones has escalated and further transformed into new paradigms. In this article, unmanned remote smart rescue platform (URSR-P) applying IoT Technology was developed. The unmanned remote smart rescue box (URSR-B) is designed for real-time monitoring, notifying the management center, and swift actions from rescuers are possible. The URSR-P processes the information of the accident site accurately in real-time monitoring for the smooth structure of the victim and contact the emergency agency.
