In the last decade, many efforts have been devoted to indoor localization and positioning. this paper, a hybrid system has developed within European project REFIRE for emergency situations. The solution estimates user's pose according prediction-correction scheme. user is equipped with waist-mounted inertial measurement unit radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. correction phase, estimation updated by means of geo-referenced information fetched from passive RFID tags predeployed into...
The design of evacuation plans for safety purposes is based on the graphical synthesis and visualization data derived from high-performance measurement systems. post-processing requires some suitable procedures including many steps, to obtain information needed. These are related global use system, real operating conditions, complexity building, simplifying hypotheses, management. As a preliminary step, this work outlines procedure extracting floor plan points cloud acquired by means laser...
This work would like to provide a preliminary contribution the draft of standard procedures for adoption Total Stations by rescuers in emergency situations, so as offer reliable and effective support their assessment activities. In particular, some considerations will be made regarding effect number positioning monitoring points on tilt determination building façade, order set up simplified procedures, which are quick easy implement at same time guaranteeing reliability results. Two types...
Localization and navigation support in GPS-denied areas represents a challenge for humans robots operating emergency situations. Although great deal of effort has been performed around this topics the last decade, to date, there is not any off-the-shelf solution provide location data communication services fire responders deep indoor environments. Most solutions available are based on proprietary infrastructures deployed environment able accurate localization. These systems suitable...
The number of natural disasters is growing. A considerable them derives directly from climate changes and generates a deep impact on cultural heritages. As result, the need for solutions able to cope with uncertain weather conditions increased getting urgent. STORM European Research Innovation Action co-funded in H2020 framework that aimed at creating intelligent tools which will gather data libraries, sensors crowd-sensing techniques order enable heritage stakeholders (e.g., organisations...
In this paper the use of a Total Station for evaluation structural state building, is analysed from metrological point view, taking into account operational constraints imposed by an emergency situation. The facade considered building has been subjected to measurement campaigns, distributed over time, with aim evaluating repeatability and reproducibility results both displacement inclination measurements. Applying known thicknesses monitoring points also system measuring threshold evaluated....
After an earthquake, rescuers need to quickly assess the stability of buildings concerned, in order define safe intervention strategies immediately after event, but also be able design provisional works that prevent further damage structure, even seismic replicas. These temporary structures should controlled over time, ensure they are actually adequate deterioration building, many months or years event. In this paper authors aim investigate if it is possible monitor time interested...
Immediately following an earthquake, rescue personnel must determine safe intervention tactics, evaluate the integrity of buildings, and realize temporary structures to prevent additional structural damage. The authors this study set out look at in-field metrological properties a terrestrial laser scanner, which is used health that have been damaged by earthquake. primary factors influencing quality results will be examined, including instrument's location in relation structure. scanner's...
In 2016, the Italian national fire and rescue service kicked-off a research activity aimed at improving its capacity of risk assessment buildings damaged by earthquakes. The research, partially funded EU H2020 actions, included test on field laser scanner systems, in order to accurately assess deformations triggered seismic actions consequently design more effective shoring structures. document reports techniques outcomes carried out framework such Sacred Convent Assisi, which has been...
The EU H2020 research project STORM is aimed at improving the safety of cultural heritage against hazards deriving from climatic changes. Damages caused directly by forest fires or fostered heat waves will be more frequent in future. corresponding risks have o addressed with appropriate tools and fire engineering approach best tool to combine needs those economic organisational efficiency nature. Increasing average air temperatures moisture change spread, both confined environments non-...
DSS is commonly intended as a computer-based information system that supports business or organisational decision-making activities. Such definition implies the capacity of analysing and processing data generated communicated by multiple sources. A developed to help civil protection fire service Authority should be fed provided not only citizens emergency numbers, but also from any other organisation involved in rescue process well available sensors networks, simulation tools using such...
The safety and security of public events involving large masses, or anyway the crowded sites, is a timely important topic that must be properly deeply analysed.It therefore necessary to use proper methods analysis design by suitable engineering approach, aimed at guaranteeing people during evacuation in ordinary emergency conditions.The present work analyses crowd Papal basilica Saint Francis Assisi that, together with Sacred Convent, represent unique specific cultural heritage site where...
