Abstract

In a disaster scenario, first responders must be able to perform multiple functions in a coordinated way. At all levels of the task — from integrating heterogeneous systems to addressing response tasks and allocating resources — responders must be able to make decisions in a globally optimal fashion. Automated coordination mechanisms can help, but they still face several challenges that researchers must address to make them effective and useful. This article discusses the application of distributed constraint optimization in disaster management coordination.

A virtual and augmented reality platform for the training of first responders of the ambulance bus
PETRA '19: Proceedings of the 12th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments

AmBus is a bus-sized ambulance that EMS personnel utilize during large-scale emergencies. Although EMS personnel receive annual training, evidence shows current training efforts leave some personnel unfamiliar with the AmBus system and unprepared to ...
An application view of COORDINATORS coordination managers for first responders
IAAI'04: Proceedings of the 16th conference on Innovative applications of artifical intelligence

COORDINATORs are coordination managers for fielded first responders. Each first response team is paired with a COORDINATOR coordination manager which is running on a mobile computing device. COORDINATORs provide decision support to first response teams ...
Identifying First Responders Information Needs: Supporting Search and Rescue Operations for Fire Emergency Response

At the onset of an indoor fire emergency, the availability of the information becomes critical due to the chaotic situation at the emergency site. Moreover, if information is lacking, not shared, or responders are too overloaded to acknowledge it, lives ...
