Research Guide
What is IoT in Emergency Response?
IoT in Emergency Response applies Internet of Things networks for real-time monitoring, sensor fusion, and communication to support first responders in disaster scenarios.
Research focuses on edge computing, low-power protocols, and integration with mobile systems for fire detection, building security, and triage. Key papers include Park et al. (2023) on Smart Fire Safety Management System with 18 citations and Lee et al. (2023) on fire prevention technologies with 12 citations. Approximately 10 papers from 2017-2024 address these applications in buildings and disasters.
Why It Matters
IoT systems deliver real-time data for faster evacuation and resource allocation in urban fires, as shown in Park et al. (2023) SFSMS integrating fire and energy management. They enhance first responder coordination via fog-based security in Medhat et al. (2020). Self-triage apps like Park (2017) aid vulnerable populations during disasters, reducing response times.
Key Research Challenges
Low-Power Protocols in Disasters
Maintaining sensor communication under power constraints during outages challenges IoT reliability. Park et al. (2023) highlight energy management needs in fire scenarios. Low-power designs must balance data transmission and battery life.
Real-Time Data Fusion at Edge
Fusing multi-sensor data with low latency at the network edge is critical for timely alerts. Medhat et al. (2020) evaluate IoT-fog systems for building security. Edge computing reduces cloud dependency in emergencies.
Security in Emergency Networks
Protecting IoT communications from cyber threats during crises risks data integrity. Fitriyan and Syafii (2024) design smart home monitoring with security features. Mitchell (2020) examines user perceptions affecting household IoT security intentions.
