“…There will be four RFID readers located in the area to locate or track any target tag in order to fulfil the objective of this simulation. Distance estimation from the four nodes to the target node is calculated by using the log-distance path loss model as shown in equation (5). In order to plot the location of the nodes in 3D localization, we will need to have at least three reference nodes.…”

“…The ability to locate people accurately and quickly in onfire buildings is quite critical to establish effective fire emergency response operations [4]. In a recent study [5], a series of interviews with the first responders assessed the value of the indoor location information. It was noticed that information on indoor location was among the most needed items of information when reacting to building fire incidents.…”

“…First, the authors examined the relative importance of indoor location information among a list of nineteen information items that may be useful during building emergencies [5]. Interactive interviews were designed and conducted with first responders from the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD).…”

“…A survey was also carried out among first responders across the U.S. to examine the requirements for indoor localization at building emergency scenes [5]. The survey was motivated by the fact that, with the rapid adoption of various sensing tools, such as remote sensing [6][7][8], geographic information systems (GIS) [9][10][11], thermal imaging cameras [12], and mobile computing and communication devices [13,14], that are used in the emergency response practices, there is need for an effective tool that can aid the search for victims and tracking of deployed first responders.…”

“…O conceito de consciência situacional (CS), muito aplicado à área da aviação tanto na pilotagem quanto no controle do tráfego aéreo, se refere ao conhecimento amplo do sistema onde as ações são tomadas (BUSBY; WITUCKI-BROWN, 2011), podendo ser definido como a percepção dos elementos do ambiente em um determinado intervalo de tempo e espaço, ou seja, a compreensão do significado destas características e sua projeção futura (ENDSLEY, 1995), logo, a CS é um estado do conhecimento para que, com base na informação disponível, uma decisão possa ser tomada (LI et al, 2014) sendo calculada pela razão entre as informações conhecidas e as informações de fato utilizadas na decisão.…”
