Abstract :
This document presents a cooperative system based on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) technologies for avalanche victims´ rescue. The system includes the use of low cost user terminal comprising GNSS receivers and wireless network communications, relative navigation, and development of a control centre. System architecture and prototype is presented; an analysis of signal propagation in snow is presented, and finally results of on-site extensive test campaign in real snow conditions are discussed.
