Surveillance systems are commonly used by command centers to monitor and assess seismic damage inside buildings, such as schools, shopping malls, office buildings and skyscrapers. It is expected that checking camera images manually on monitors can be a very time-consuming and inefficient process, especially for a large surveillance system. One of the alternative ways is to first deploy sensors to monitor objects inside buildings, such as tables, cabinets, bookcases and so on, and, after fusing sensor data, to assess damage. However, deploying sensors can be impractical and costly when there are too many objects needed to be monitored. In this paper, we present IDEAS, an image-based disaster damage assessment system, to evaluate seismic damage inside buildings. IDEAS first compares images taken inside a building before and after an earthquake, it then maps the damage to a Mercalli intensity scale. In order to investigate the effectiveness and accuracy of IDEAS, we collect over forty pairs of closed-circuit television (CCTV) images from Youtube website. Each pair of images represents a real scenario of an earthquake inside a building. Our results show that IDEAS performs better than existing methods and can achieve an average accuracy of 97.6 % in mapping Mercalli intensity scale.

“…It delivers early alerts to particular emergency centers and thus accelerates the response process. Similarly, Liu et al [8] use cyberphysical elements (called intelligent guards) deployed in the physical infrastructure to deliver early alarms when an extreme event affects a certain urban area. Concerning the support for the first response process, Martin-Campillo et al [9] propose a RFID-based solution to tag injured people, indicating their health condition before to deliver them to a hospital.…”

Abstract.Although the technological components required to implement Internet of Things (IoT) inspired solutions are already available, in most application scenarios it is not clear how to structure and combine them to reach a certain global behavior of a system. This paper proposes an architecture that helps design IoT-based systems that support the first responses during medium-size or large urban incidents. The main components of this architecture are characterized and the interactions between them are also specified. The usefulness of the proposed architecture is illustrated through its hypothetical use in a real urban emergency. The use of this proposal could be extended to other application areas such as security operatives and monitoring of patients at home.

“…We assume that sensors and devices are in place for this purpose, and also assume recognition methods have a suitable level of accuracy, while deepening these issues will be object of our short-term research steps. We rely on works in detection such as [7] and [2], and assume an accurate notification of risks, ignoring errors for sake of simplicity. The RMS will introduce a strategy to manage a recognized risk by proposing a set of risk actions.…”

Abstract. This paper presents adaptive access control for areas where risks require modifying authorizations dynamically at run time to enlarge and/or restrict privileges for risk rescue teams. Resources, which have a spatial description, as well as data elements of the areas to be protected, are considered. Based on a risk scenario, principles of access control based on the ABAC (Attribute Based Access Control) model for Subjects and Objects are given. Adaptivity of access control rules apply to subjects who intervene in the risk area and who require enlarged privileges to access to resources. The Access Control Domain concept models the policies of adaptive changes to Subject/Object attributes to face the crisis events. Events have a spatial description to enable managing the crisis according to where the event has occurred, since the same event can have different impacts on the environment depending on where it happens.
