Abstract:

Last year in September, a 6.6 MW earthquake struck Hokkaido Iburi Subprefecture, Japan. The large-scale power outage that followed has led to the complete paralysis of the networks in many areas. In fact, in areas with complex terrain like Iburi, once the original network infrastructure no longer works, reconstruction work could be extremely difficult. As a result, to overcome terrain factors and achieve rapid deployment, we apply UAVs as platforms in-the-air to play the roles of unmanned rescuers as well as carriers for communication modules. Our main target is to build up a next generation disaster response system to help survivors in affected area reconnect as quickly as possible. In addition, to gain insight into the real-time situation of the affected area, we need the two-way communication between affected area and outside world. However, once the network infrastructure suffers from disasters, connections can be interrupted, and support cannot reach affected area. Moreover, it is difficult to reconstruct the communication line from scratch. In order to achieve a set of post-disaster two-way communication solutions not relying on traditional network infrastructure, we design a UAV-assisted next generation disaster response platform.
