Telematic system for supervision and support of tactical staff involved in disaster response

Abstract:

This paper describe the design and implementation of a Telematic System that aims to supervision and support tactical staff involved in disaster response operations. Each tactical group member carries a programmable electronic module that allows obtaining information about the state of the environment (temperature, humidity, hot spots, air quality, etc.) and itself (position, emergency signal, heart rate, etc.). The information collected is sent to a data server through a wireless network based on LoraWAN technology, where it is stored and processed to obtain different types of reports that allow to plan the response operations and make decisions according to reality. To test the system functionality, a prototype was implemented based on the architecture described in this paper. The results were satisfactory, obtaining effective, permanent and real-time communication between tactical staff within the disaster-affected area and strategic staff responsible for decision-making outside of it.
