Abstract
Location monitoring system for rescue disable persons by switching the location estimation methods with GPS, ZigBee and WiFi beacon is proposed. Rescue system with triage using health condition monitoring together with location and attitude monitoring as well as the other data acquired with mobile devices is evaluated with the proposed location monitoring system. Through simulation study, influence due to location estimation error on rescue time is evaluated together with effect of the proposed location monitoring system. Also, it is found that the effect of triage on rescue time is clarified.
Highlights
Most computer based simulation evacuation models are based on flow model, cellular automata model, and multiagent-based model
The section describes influence due to location estimation error on the rescue time in concern followed by the proposed location estimation method by using GPS, WiFi beacon and ZigBee alternatively
Some errors would occur in the situations which is shown in Fig.5 (b) for both WiFi router based and ZigBee based location estimation methods, Location estimate has to be made at the location as gravity center of the triangle which is formed with three circles
Summary
Most computer based simulation evacuation models are based on flow model, cellular automata model, and multiagent-based model. A multi agent-based model is composed of individual units, situated in an explicit space, and provided with their own attributes and rules [2]. Through a comparison between with and without consideration of triage, it may be possible to find that the time required for evacuation from disaster areas with consideration triage is less than that without triage [19]-[20] These studies do not taken into account location estimation accuracy. The section describes influence due to location estimation error on the rescue time in concern followed by the proposed location estimation method by using GPS, WiFi beacon and ZigBee alternatively. Experimental results from rescue simulation studies which is based on triage with health condition of victims.
