Integration of Emergency Response Management System with Internet of Things

Abstract

Disasters can be classified either from mother nature such as landslide, earthquake, tsunami and lightning or cause by human such as leakage in gas production or terrorist attacks. Disaster leads to huge destruction economically and affected human lives. Whilst various technologies available towards disaster analysis occurrence, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers reliable solutions in handling the relevant disasters situation, such as early warning system, real time data analytics, remote monitoring and search and rescue localization. This research developed an integration of emergency response management system with IoT. The system integrates heterogeneous wireless-enabled embedded controller with sensor, smart phones, desktop and wireless communication for end-to-end network connectivity which is monitored by a cloud platform. The system performance was evaluated in terms of the end-to-end link quality estimation and delay.
