| Abstract: |
| A UAV-based disaster management system featuring a WiFi mesh network, 3D mapping, and victim localization using RSSI values. The UAV establishes a WiFi network for victims to connect to, and uses the strength of the signal from each victim's device to triangulate their location. The mesh network enables efficient communication and data transfer in crisis situations. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| There is a need for a disaster management system that can create 3D maps, establish a WiFi mesh network, and use RSSI values to locate victims in crisis situations, addressing the unmet need for accurate damage assessment and victim location in disaster response efforts. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Disaster response organizations, emergency responders, and affected communities would benefit from this UAV-based disaster management system. Every year countless valuable lives are lost to natural disasters. The recent floods in Pakistan alone had devastating effects on 33 million people. |
| How will the solution works |
| The UAV will be equipped with a Raspberry Pi to create a 3D map of the disaster zone and establish a WiFi mesh network, to which the cell phones of victims can connect enabling efficient communication and data transfer between the UAV, the victims, and the ground station. To localize the victims the Raspberry Pi will measure the strength of the signal from each victim's device to triangulate the location of each victim relative to the UAV. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Our solution has competitors in ground-based robots and site surveying space. However, unlike them our UAV solution is inexpensive, can be deployed quickly, can access areas that may be difficult for ground-based systems to reach, and can work in indoor environments. |
