Description

The main objective of this research is to use machine learning algorithms to locate people stranded by an earthquake or other big disasters. Disasters are often unpredictable, they can result in significant economic loss, and the survivors may struggle with despair and other mental health issues. The time, the victim's precise location, the possible condition of the victim, the resources and manpower on hand are the main challenges the rescue team must deal with. This article examines a model that gathers data and, using that data, predicts risk analysis and probability of finding the shortest distance to reach the person in need. Using a drone equipped with RF-pose technology and EHT sensors, it will be able to locate any individuals trapped inside a collapsed structure. To determine the dataset's extreme points and the shortest route to the victim's location by using the Dijkstra's algorithms. The primary aim of this article is to discuss the idea of applying these ML (Machine Learning) algorithms and creating a model that aids in rescuing those trapped beneath collapsed buildings. Devices that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) have grown in popularity over the past few years as a result of their capacity for data collection and transmission. Particularly in disaster management, search and rescue operations, and other related disciplines, drones have shown to be useful IoT devices. These tools are perfect for emergency response circumstances because they can be utilized to access locations that are hard to get to or too dangerous for humans. Drones with cameras and other sensors can be used in disaster management to gather data in real-time on the severity of the damage caused by earthquakes and other disasters. The afflicted area may be mapped out with their help, and they can also be used to find survivors and spot dangerous places that should be avoided. The rescue operation can then be planned and the resource allocation made more efficient using this information. Drones can be used in search and rescue operations to find and follow people who are stuck or lost. Drones can be equipped with the RF-pose sensors used in the research described in the abstract to assist in locating people who are buried under debris. Thermal camera-equipped drones can also be used to locate people in low-light or night-time conditions by detecting their body heat. The capacity of drones to offer real-time data is one of the benefits particularly disaster management. 2023 IEEE.
