Abstract :
In this paper, we propose an information assistance system and an algorithm for distributed rescue agents to improve their rescue activities. To save victims, finding them is quite important. We introduce a small intelligent device called "intelligent data carrier for rescue (IDC-R)" and a mediator blimp in order to search victims. Then, we propose an algorithm for distributed rescue agents to visit them, which needs few calculation cost. We verify the effectiveness by carrying out simulations.
