Development of mobile evacuation guides for travellers and rescue personnel

Abstract:

Whenever an emergency situation occurs, a correct response of the rescue teams and an optimal communication and coordination among them is required to assure that all the people needing help are assisted within a short period of time. This paper presents an approach for the development of innovative HMIs within SAVE ME project to save the lives of travellers and rescuers, giving particular emphasis to the most vulnerable people. The emergency response system detects natural and man-made disaster events in public transport terminals/vehicles and critical infrastructures and supports quick and optimal mass evacuation guidance. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
