Project Proposal

Wireless Sensor Networks for First Responders

General Information:

Sensor Networks are a technology consisting of extremely low-power, small, and low-cost nodes that combined with wireless communication can greatly effect response efforts. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have wide-spread appeal to multiple fields.  The can gather valuable data and wirelessly communicate the data to their subscribers.  The small size and portability of the devices combined with the wireless communication capabilities make them ideal for many emergency and first responder settings. They can expand a responder's awareness, helping to locate victims or warning of dangerous situations.


Focus:

  • Radiation reduction
  • Effectiveness in recent Mass Casualty Events (MCE)
  • New studies - including airport counter terrorism, HERD, and Robots
  • Progression and Complications
