Abstract

This study discusses a unique disaster-information collection technique that involves the collaboration of a rescue system and a GIS. The proposed technique can be applied to any rescue system by saving the information collected by the robot as text files. The rescue systems can realize a simple and flexible database across networks by "MISP." Disaster information is collected effectively by different types of rescue robots and transmitted to the "spatial-temporal GIS" using MISP. Effective disaster-information analysis is achieved by the spatial-temporal GIS DiMSIS/DyLUPAs. Field experiments (collapsing house, vast disaster areas) reveal the validity of the proposed disaster-information collection system
