Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a sensors-assisted rescue service architecture to integrate rescue schemes for different purposes, including disaster prediction, evacuation planning, and emergency broadcast. In the proposed architecture, multiple-sensed mobile devices are designed to provide a personalized situational awareness, thereby further enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of rescue services. Reliability and scalability of rescue services are improved by leveraging the dynamical resource provision of cloud computing. The proposed rescue service architecture is implemented to show the advantages of power efficiency and scalability of the proposed rescue service architecture.
