Even though drinking water utilities are not meant to fight wildfires, they quickly become stakeholders, if not first responders, when their resources are needed for firefighting. The August 2023 wildfires on the island of Maui, Hawaii, USA, have highlig...

Cooperative localization (CL) is a popular research topic in the area of localization. Research is becoming more focused on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and robots and less on pedestrians. This is because UAVs and robots can work in formation, but ped...

Fires kill and injure people, destroy residences, pollute the air, and cause economic loss. The damage of the fire can be reduced if we can detect the fire early and notify the firefighters as soon as possible. In this project, a novel Internet of Things...

Wildfires spread rapidly and cause considerable ecological and socioeconomic losses. Inner Mongolia is among the regions in China that suffer the most from wildfires. A simple, effective model that uses fewer parameters to simulate wildfire spread is cru...

Wildfires kill and injure people, destroy residences, pollute the air, and cause economic loss. In this paper, a low-power Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensor network is developed, which automatically detects fires in forests and sends the location to ...

In this study, we propose and analyze three designs of a novel aerial system that aims for autonomous firefighting missions in the body or border of water areas. In such areas, it is difficult and even dangerous for human firefighters, and firefighting r...

As our society ages, more and more elderly or disabled people live in long-term care (LTC) facilities, which are vulnerable to fires and may result in heavy casualties. Because of the low mobility of LTC residents, firefighters often need to enter the fa...

In the last few years, modern technologies such as numerical simulations, virtual and augmented reality, and agent-based models represented effective tools to study phenomena, which may not be experimentally reproduced due to costs, inherent hazards, or ...

The confrontation of these two technologies - packet-switching and circuit-switching ? has a long history, and it seems to be incessant. It had started with Asynchronous Transfer Mode technology in the 1990s. The breakup of the Bell System marked a key l...
