Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The main problem of First Responders (FR) (fire fighters, police, etc...) in case of crisis at critical infrastructures are the loss of communication and location and the lack of information about the environment (temperature, hazardous gases,etc.). Therefore, during the intervention, there is a gap between the First responders' situation (positioning, health,etc) and the overall view of at their mobile headquater. DITSEF aims at increasing the effectiveness and safety of First Responders by optimal information gathering and sharing with their higher command levels. DITSEF will provide: - Self organising robust ad-hoc communications where the existing infrastructure may be compromised, allowing communication between the First Responders and between them and their command level. - Accurate novel 3D positioning in indoor environments. - Sensors that offer a reliable overview of the situation and of the potential threats (explosives, chemicals, fire, etc.) - Enhanced vision for the FR in visually -impaired conditions, trough ingenious and unprecented HMIs consisting of sensors-based visual elements, showing spatial features and thermal imagery overlaid on the direct perception of the First Responder. The operational value of the integrated solution will be demonstrated through users defined scenarios in a real operational environment. it will incorporate end-users from both the Critical Infrastructures' domain and the First Responders' domain. Five dedicated workshops will allow the collection of users requirements, operational scenarios and allow the cross-fertilisation of information on operations and procedures of players from different states and domains; they will create awareness on project results and prepare their take-up. Attention will be paid to standardisation issues. DITSEF will be implemented by a strong partnership of 10 members, including SMEs, large industries, research centres, technology providers, system integrators and end-users.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A variety of new sensors can help enhance the safety and security of public places and key infrastructure sites. An EU initiative developed novel technology to assist emergency crews in the availability of relevant information.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
When a natural or man-made disaster strikes a particular area, very often emergency services and communications also get hit, hampering rescue and recovery efforts significantly.
With this in mind, the EU-funded project 'Digital and innovative technologies for security and efficiency of first responders operation' (http://www.ditsef.eu/ (DITSEF)) set out to enhance the efficiency of information gathering and sharing between first responders (FRs) and control centres to ensure optimal response and minimise trauma.
Project members worked on supporting FRs through a network of sensors, localisation and communication systems, particularly in the event of large fires.
The technology integrates the latest in indoor localisation, wireless communication, human interfaces, sensor equipment and other key innovations, facilitating data exchange with higher command levels. A series of laboratory experiments were performed on these technologies.
Five workshops gathered end-user requirements, operational scenarios, and enabled the exchange of information on operations and procedures by various stakeholders. The dedicated events also disseminated project outcomes and the potential for take-up by end users.
All these technologies were integrated into an easy-to-use wearable system for every FR. It provides technology for safer and more efficient navigation of FRs while on mission through constant monitoring of their changing location. FRs are fed commands by the control centre on the best and safest routes to complete their mission.
The project team completed the proposed security solution and successfully tested it at a chemical plant and a large hotel area. This final demonstration was held in 2013 to validate end-user requirements for FRs.
DITSEF delivered a cutting-edge security solution enabling FRs to carry out more reliable, safe and successful missions. The project should enhance the safety and security of EU citizens, and especially those working to ensure this is the case.
