Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) claims over 400,000 lives each year in North America and is one of the most time-sensitive medical emergencies. Drone-delivered automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have the potential to be a…
Drones are becoming popular as a complementary system for \ac{ems}. Although several pilot studies and flight trials have shown the feasibility of drone-assisted \ac{aed} delivery, running a full-scale operational network remains…
Sudden cardiac arrest is a significant public health concern. Successful treatment of cardiac arrest is extremely time sensitive, and use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) where possible significantly increases the probability of…
Autonomous drone fleets have immense potential in medical supply delivery during disaster incident response. However, coordinating multiple drones in such settings introduces compounding challenges: dynamic environmental hazards such as…
The wildfires in Australia make people suffer the losses caused by the devastating disasters. To protect people's security and the country's development in vulnerable situations, we are expected to establish a set of efficient and…
Effective communication for emergency vehicles - such as ambulances and fire trucks - is essential to support their operations in various traffic and environmental conditions. In this context, this paper investigates a vehicular…
Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been significantly improved, and one of their most important applications is to provide temporary coverage for cellular users. Static Base Station cannot service all users due to temporary…
Drone base stations can provide cellular networks in areas that have lost coverage due to disasters. To serve the maximum number of users in the disaster area without apriori user distribution information, we proposed a 'sweep and search'…
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates remain extremely low due to challenges in the timely accessibility of medical devices. Therefore, effective deployment of automated external defibrillators (AED) can significantly…
Drone base stations can assist cellular networks in a variety of scenarios. To serve the maximum number of users in an area without apriori user distribution information, we proposed a two-stage algorithm to find the optimal deployment of…
Utilizing autonomous drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has shown great advantages over preceding methods in support of urgent scenarios such as search and rescue (SAR) and wildfire detection. In these operations, search efficiency…
Currently every day in the USA 1000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) outside of hospitals or ambulances - before emergency medical help arrives - in the streets, workplaces, schools and homes of our cities, adults and children.…
Humanitarian logistics service providers have two major responsibilities immediately after a disaster: locating trapped people and routing aid to them. These difficult operations are further hindered by failures in the transportation and…
At a time when drones are increasingly associated with hostile operations, we re-purpose them for humanitarian and life-saving applications. However, adapting search and rescue drones for battlefield triage remains extremely challenging;…
The use of drone small cells (DSCs) which are aerial wireless base stations that can be mounted on flying devices such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is emerging as an effective technique for providing wireless services to ground users…
Modern wireless traffic demand pushes Internet Service Providers to develop effective strategies to improve user experience. Since deploying dense Base Stations (BSs) is not cost efficient, an alternative is to deploy autonomous drones to…
Thanks to their fast delivery, reduced traffic restrictions, and low manpower need, drones have been increasingly deployed to deliver time-critical materials, such as medication, blood, and exam kits, in emergency situations. This paper…
Drowning is an omnipresent risk associated with any activity on or in the water, and rescuing a drowning person is particularly challenging because of the time pressure, making a short response time important. Further complicating water…
The use of semi-autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to support emergency response scenarios, such as fire surveillance and search and rescue, offers the potential for huge societal benefits. However, designing an effective solution in…
The expectation for increased capabilities of 5G networks opens the way for new verticals to be developed, with a growing interest in providing 5G connectivity for emergency service support. In this paper we propose a drone-based deployment…
