A numerical fitting model between the concentration of asphyxiating gases (CO and HCN) and poisoning risk levels
CCIOT '24: Proceedings of the 2024 9th International Conference on Cloud Computing and Internet of ThingsPages 67–72https://doi.org/10.1145/3704304.3704314The study focuses on CO, HCN, and a mixture of CO and HCN as the main research objects. By employing the curve fitting method, an expression linking CO, HCN concentrations with poisoning risk levels is established. This polynomial fitting approach ...

Sparse Graphs Are Not Flammable
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA), Volume 27, Issue 4Pages 2157–2166https://doi.org/10.1137/120876113In this paper, we consider the following $k$-many firefighter problem on a finite graph $G=(V,E)$. Suppose that a fire breaks out at a given vertex $v \in V$. In each subsequent time unit, a firefighter protects $k$ vertices which are not yet on fire, and ...

Believe what you hear, not what you see: vision interferes with auditory route guidance in complex environment
Auditory route guidance has a potential use for sighted people who have to conduct emergent real-world task during navigation. Despite its affordance in assisting people in the absence of vision, it may receive interference from vision under normal ...

Development of performance metrics and test methods for first responder location and tracking systems
PerMIS '10: Proceedings of the 10th Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems WorkshopPages 207–208https://doi.org/10.1145/2377576.2377614The need for the development of performance requirements, metrics and test methods for evaluation of location and tracking systems is increasing as these systems begin to become commercially available for use by emergency responders. A working group was ...

Automatic and robust breadcrumb system deployment for indoor firefighter applications
MobiSys '10: Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and servicesPages 21–34https://doi.org/10.1145/1814433.1814438Breadcrumb systems (BCS) have been proposed to aid firefighters inside buildings by communicating their physiological parameters to base stations outside the buildings. In this paper, we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of an automatic ...

Ubiquitous computing for firefighters: field studies and prototypes of large displays for incident command
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPages 679–686https://doi.org/10.1145/985692.985778In this paper, we demonstrate how field studies, interviews, and low-fidelity prototypes can be used to inform the design of ubiquitous computing systems for firefighters. We describe the artifacts and processes used by firefighters to assess, plan, and ...
