Wireless Sensor Networks for Civil Protection Microelectronics Research GroupUniversità Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
DEIT, Microelectronics GroupUniversità Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona Research Activity : • System level design for low power systems • System level design and performance analysis of wireless networks (Bluetooth and Zigbee) • RFId ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
cedar solutionsUniversity Spin-off, Ancona Research Activity: • Applications using commercial boards on Bluetooth and Zigbee (in cooperation with Freescale Semiconductor) ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Wireless Sensor Networks:application examples Applications developed by Intel and IBM: • vineyard monitoring • natural environment monitoring • home automation for healthcare • building and bridge structure monitoring • videosurveillance ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Applications under development at DEIT: Smart Wireless Image Sensor Key aspects • Low Cost, Low Power (battery operated) • Wireless (Bluetooth or Zigbee) • Application: video surveillance • High data rate on video streaming is necessary for high quality but this is incompatible with low power requirement • Low data rate is obtained with local image processing • Low power architecture for local image processing • Application layer designed for low power video wireless network ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007

EU project on Sustainable Surface Transport: Crisis management and rescue operations (presented on june 5, 2007, under evaluation) CRISMANNew Procedures and Tools for the Effective Management of Crisis Related to Railway and Highway Transport ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
CRISMAN Coordinator DEIMOS Space (Spain): 4 nations, 11 partners • SPAIN: Geovirtual, Isdefe, Ergolan , Universidad Carlos III de Madrid • FRANCE: Advanteam & Partners, M3 Systems, CGX Systemes • ITALY: Università Politecnica delle Marche, CEDAR Solutions (Italy), • IRELAND: Trinity College Dublin ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Key aspects • Identification and definition of operational procedures for managing crisis related to railway and highway transport: • Resource management • Coordination of emergency teams • Availability of relevant information for supporting the crisis management ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Design and Development of a Crisis Management System • Development of a Decision Support System, also available for first responders mobile devices • Development of tools for 3D virtual recognition and navigation over crisis scenarios ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Mobile tools for rescue teams to collect and share crisis information in real time with a mobile Control Center (via WiFi, WiMax, …) and via SATCOM with Central Control Center including audio and video capabilities • Sensors Network Platform for monitoring injured people and special drivers (driving trains, buses, dangerous goods trucks …) ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Crisis Management System SOS fixed station Mobile Control Center Sensor Network intelligent vehicle Sensor Network Central Control Center Decision Support System 3D information visualization crisis area Mobile Control Center ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Peculiar specifications of wireless sensor networks for first aid and crisis management • Fast and simple installation • Recofigurability • Self-organization • Reliability • Integration of heterogeneus sensors. ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Sensors for Crisis Management • Biomedical sensors to be applied to the injured persons (ECG …) • Environment sensor: presence of fire, gas, gasoline • Image sensor • Localization information (GPS) • Low cost sensor, for example accelerometer inside an intelligent vehicle that in case of crash transmits information to control centers or to other intelligent vehicles. ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
Future Work • Possible cooperation with the partners of “CRISTMAN” project in case of approval • Possible cooperation for the development of new EU projects Thank You ICT and Civil Protection Senigallia, 18-19 June 2007
