| Sumario: | [EN] Mobile computing has dramatically changed the way the information is managed during emergency responses. On one hand, the use of smart mobile devices allows response teams to access to multimedia information about different aspects (e.g. building maps, or rescue actions), as well as to generate contextual information about the current situation in a particular location (e.g. infrastructure damages). On the other hand, mobile computing supports the people affected by emergencies, who can receive helping information via their mobile devices. The Personal Safety Assistant (PSA) was initiated with the aim of helping victims of an emergency to get to a secure place. The PSA allows victims to be guided with their mobile phones to a safe location from their current position. Besides this, the PSA generates contextual information that can be used to increase situational awareness. In this work, we introduce an extension to the PSA project whose main goal is to exploit the contextual information generated by the victims mobile devices to improve emergency responses. The Team Rescue Assistant (TeRA) uses such information to provide response teams a view of the affected infrastructure that includes information about the number of victims, their health requirements (if any) and their locations. Additionally, it calculates the path towards their locations in real time, avoiding to direct responders towards unusable ways thanks to the contextual information available. The work includes the modeling, design and implementation of two tools that have been added to the PSA infrastructure. The TeRA-Director application allows the response team coordinator to have a global view of the infrastructure that includes the location of the victims, as well as to calculate the path to specific locations within the building. On the other hand, the TeRA-Rescue application allows responders to access to the building maps and to locate themselves within the building, so they can be located, too. A large amount of the tools requirements have been provided by staff at the “Cuerpo de Bomberos del Ayuntamiento de Valencia”, who participated actively in many meetings during the development of the project. We plan to test TeRA in emergency drills to be held in the near future |
