This paper provides an overview of a novel system architecture to support first responders in coping with dynamically changing situations, as well as help them to allocate human resources more efficiently. The system supports the collection and fusion of multi-sensor data for the generation of a near real-time situational picture. We employ a context-sensitive augmented reality (AR) assistance and...
Multimedia delivery systems and protocols usually assume end-to-end connections and low delivery delays between multimedia sources and consumers. However, neither of these two properties can always be achieved in hastily formed networks for emergency response operations. In particular, disruptions may break end-to-end connections, which makes it impossible to deliver multimedia content instantly....
Emergency response operations are a promising application area for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Most existing MANET routing protocols assume that an end-to-end path between source and destination can be established. However, this assumption may not hold in a hastily formed network established during an emergency response. This paper evaluates a store-and-forward mechanism for proactive routing...
We evaluate the performance of several routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) in an emergency response scenario. The simulated scenario uses a disaster area mobility model and a wireless shadowing model to represent realistic first responder movements in a hybrid indoor/outdoor environment. The resulting scenario imposes some challenges on the MANET routing protocols such as intermittent...
