Accident sites management using drones

Abstract

Nowadays, finding a way to quickly respond to industrial accidents due to human errors or unforeseen situation is high, for example in the petrochemical industry where are handled with toxic and flammable substances, is a priority for the safe coordination of rescue teams based on-real time knowledge of the situation on the ground. Thus, the rapid identification of potential victims, the prevision of post-deflagration work space and the prevention of the new emergencies to limit damage should become a priority. In this paper we propose a quickly solution for rescue intervention based on use of the drone equipped with camera and sensors network capable of transmitting data in real time over the post-explosive environmental conditions to command center for the rapid identification of victims both in open and closed spaces. The paper presents the methods of using drones to explore and identify accident sites. There are modelled and simulated the control system and the image identification unit.
