Robust mobile ad hoc space for collaboration to support disaster relief efforts involving critical physical infrastructure

When an extreme event hits an urban area, the efficiency and effectiveness of the first response have a profound effect on disaster relief efforts. The redefinition of the civil engineers' role and responsibilities as first response team members, along with an enhanced collaboration between dis...

These encouraging results allow this research effort to conclude that MASC is able to address these new challenges.034FONDEFaldunate@uiuc.edu; sochoa@dcc.uchile.cl; feniosky@uiuc.edu; mn@ing.puc.cl01FONDEF200D01I1007D01I1007virtual::31020-1WOS:000234190700002WOS:0002341907000020887-3801https://hdl.handle.net/10533/197525ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERSinstname: Conicytreponame: Repositorio Digital RI2.0instname: Conicytreponame: Repositorio Digital RI2.010.1061/(ASCE)0887-3801(2006)20:1(13)info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/Fondef/D01I1007info:eu-repo/semantics/dataset/hdl.handle.net/10533/93477https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)0887-3801(2006)20:1(13)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRobust mobile ad hoc space for collaboration to support disaster relief efforts involving critical physical infrastructureJOURNAL OF COMPUTING IN CIVIL ENGINEERINGJ.

The redefinition of the civil engineers' role and responsibilities as first response team members, along with an enhanced collaboration between disaster relief organizations, will greatly improve first response efforts and the securing of affected infrastructures.
