Proje Özeti

This collaboration is for development of a location-based system that provides safety supports to mobile users and assists emergency situations in an event of disaster. In particular, the proposed system will support monitoring, alerts and rescue services by utilising the latest device-to-device (D2D) and relay technologies working over the long-term evolution (LTE) networks.

Our main target is the emergency situations in Turkey and its region during or after disasters such as earthquakes and mining disasters where unsafe areas are often found. Other safety issues will also be addressed, such as flooding, avalanche and the dangers in unsafe areas at remote campsites, snowy walking trails and large national parks, where conventional communication means of cellular networks (using base stations) may be limited or only partially available. A prototype demonstrating system will be built to test the alerting services. D2D technology allows us to exploit the nature proximity of communicating devices, leading to multiple performance benefits, while relaying technology allows the users in potential danger to be reachable by the control centre when safety issues arise. The expected outcomes of the project will provide significant economic benefits (to wireless industry and government), social and environmental benefits (to health/safety sectors and general public).
