Response Coordination Model for Real Time Decision Making in Coastal Search and Rescue Operation Using Fuzzy Logic Technique

Abstract

Coastal search and rescue (SAR) operations are complex, involving dynamic and uncertain conditions that demand real-time, effective decision-making. This paper aimed to analyze response coordination for real- time decision-making in coastal SAR operations using the fuzzy logic technique. The main aims of this study were to identify the key parameters and linguistic variables critical for effective decision-making in SAR operations and finally to design a fuzzy logic model tailored to the dynamic and uncertain conditions inherent in coastal SAR operations. The proposed fuzzy logic model demonstrated improved responsiveness and adaptability to changing conditions, offering a more robust framework for decision-making in SAR operations. However, this study contributes to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of real time decision making in SAR operations in coastal environments, with broader implications for maritime safety.
