“…In the context of this study, the search is managed using UAVs, which typically require less infrastructure to deploy compared to other types of vehicles and have a higher degree of manoeuvrability [ 1 ]—which is a necessity in most SAR problems—but have a limited battery and payload capacity [ 2 , 3 ]. This makes them suitable for search and potentially for providing first aid (this highly depends on the drone model, mainly its payload capacity [ 4 , 5 ]), but less useful for the rescue part. Note that this is dependent on the specific aircraft in question, as there are many different types of both rotary-wing, fixed-wing, and hybrids models, as well as UAVs specific for different altitudes, e.g., the high-altitude pseudo satellites.…”

Search and Rescue (SAR) missions aim to search and provide first aid to persons in distress or danger. Due to the urgency of these situations, it is important to possess a system able to take fast action and effectively and efficiently utilise the available resources to conduct the mission. In addition, the potential complexity of the search such as the ruggedness of terrain or large size of the search region should be considered. Such issues can be tackled by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with optical sensors. This can ensure the efficiency in terms of speed, coverage and flexibility required to conduct this type of time-sensitive missions. This paper centres on designing a fast solution approach for planning UAV-assisted SAR missions. The challenge is to cover an area where targets (people in distress after a hurricane or earthquake, lost vessels in sea, missing persons in mountainous area, etc.) can be potentially found with a variable likelihood. The search area is modelled using a scoring map to support the choice of the search sub-areas, where the scores represent the likelihood of finding a target. The goal of this paper is to propose a heuristic approach to automate the search process using scarce heterogeneous resources in the most efficient manner.

“…During sports occasion fire accidents can also occur unintentionally which may damage the surroundings and sometimes life. This study targeted emergency situations during outdoor activities and proposed UAV based solution [64], [65] for rescuing because UAV can carry first aid kid and medicine towards players who suffer some kind of injury, dehydration during sports occasion. UAV can also carry elide fire extinguishable balls to stop fire accidents in case of emergency.…”

Mobile-Controlled UAVs for Audio Delivery Service and Payload Tracking Solution

et al. 2019

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are self-driving vehicles in robotic technology, which are in incremental demand for transportation. In this paper, re-engineering the UAVs model for payload delivery service to enhance the feature of tracking, communication of recorded audio voices, and enlarging of new process to deliver a partial control of the UAVs especially for the customers is being discussed. In the present study, integration of UAVs and mobile technology has been adopted for re-engineering of the UAV based delivery process. The fundamental approach of the present study is to involve the customer in the entire process of payload delivery under effective coordination to provide customer-oriented functionality which will improve the customer encounter in logistics operations. People don't get to visit his/her loved one's grave due to lack of time, busy schedule or traffic congestion. Visiting of graveyard is unfriendly for elderly too because of their health issues. Today, by the coordination of developed sensor and IT innovation, visiting of graveyard has become simple. To be perfect and reasonable, artifacts of the proposed model can easily be implemented for the virtual visiting of graveyard. By utilization of the proposed model, individuals and particularly elderly or women can easily visit the loved one's grave from the comfort of their home by watching ongoing recordings of the blooming activity on grave or tomb. Furthermore people can send recorded audio, voice message or Quran recitation from his/her registered mobile app at the graveyard. The proposed model is evaluated by conducting survey-based quantitative research approach based on the Delphi method. The performance of the model is analyzed by the goodness-of-fit (Chi-square) test. The inspection of the overall outcome against the re-engineering model and its provided service efficiency has a greater impact of acceptance.INDEX TERMS Real-time monitoring, partial controlling, payload delivery, recorded audio delivery, UAV.
