Abstract :
While an emergency disaster occurs, it is very critical to rescue survivals as soon as possible and guarantee the safety of rescuers. It is necessary to build up a provisional emergency system as soon as possible to monitor the rescuing progress and situation. This paper proposed a microcontroller-based E-Emergency System with wireless adhoc networks. This system includes E-Nurse card, Positioning reader and Wireless module. The Radar and adhoc network techniques are integrated for position and communication. The system can be established easily anytime and anywhere without any infrastructure. In the real test, the position and life information of rescuers can be shown in PC or laptop in the monitor center. Moreover, the information also can be presented in smart phones anywhere. Finally, the performance of rescue would be improved, and the loss would be reduced.
