Abstract

The actual problem of organizing and conducting rescue operations in the mountains is considered. The achievements associated with the following factors were noted: the active development of UAVs of various designs, masses, and equipment; development of new information systems, including sensors, communication systems; the emergence of new image processing algorithms and other types of data based on artificial intelligence methods. It was emphasized that a fundamentally new achievement that opens up broad prospects is an integrated approach to the use of rescue equipment, including ground-based mobile equipment, UAVs of various types, global navigation and mobile communications, and professional rescuers. Problems were identified that are associated with the difficulties of the task, including a complex mountainous terrain, snow cover, avalanches, strong winds, low temperatures, immobility and even lack of communication with the victims. The article considers the problem of low temperatures, which leads to icing, which gives rise to an uncontrolled change in the properties of the control object UAVs, difficulties in the functioning of control elements, and distortion of the sensors. Based on the methods of artificial intelligence, including modern methods of detecting damage, a comparative analysis of different approaches was carried out and a predominant approach was drawn, which allows a high degree of certainty to detect problems of UAV icing and timely change of control system settings.

Highlights

  • The problem of saving people, local residents and unprepared tourists, as well as those who are engaged in professional activities, including athletes, in general, everyone who was in the mountains voluntarily or, if necessary, in the mountains, has always been a very important and difficult to solve problem note that the first paragraph of a section or subsection is not indented

  • An unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with an avalanche transceiver and an HD camera can improve the assessment of the situation and provide useful support in making decisions for hospital services and ski patrolling in the mountains [8]

  • The use of UAVs instead of rescue people to search for victims provides a number of advantages, such as their high speed, maneuverability and the fact that they do not feel psychological pressure, which often leads to human errors [10]

Summary

The Relevance of the Task

The problem of saving people, local residents and unprepared tourists, as well as those who are engaged in professional activities, including athletes, in general, everyone who was in the mountains voluntarily or, if necessary, in the mountains, has always been a very important and difficult to solve problem note that the first paragraph of a section or subsection is not indented. The success of any emergency response and analysis depends on the timely receipt of data received from the scene [1]. The specifics of mountain rescue operations as part of search and rescue missions in uninhabited areas strongly depend on the time required to. In the framework of eliminating the consequences of an avalanche, one of the factors affecting the likelihood of surviving victims is the speed with which they are found and dig out [3]. This is due to emerging medical problems in affected people [4, 5]. The activities of rescue services have a long history [6], modern information technologies and new vehicles give hope for a more successful solution of the task
