RESCUE-MATE
Rescue-Mate – Dynamic situation creation and support for rescue forces in complex crisis scenarios (2023-2027)
The Rescue-Mate research project is looking at the challenge of situation mapping and optimizing information flows in the safety scenario of a storm surge in Hamburg, Germany. Against the backdrop of rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, and an increasing number of residents who need to be evacuated and cared for in the event of a disaster, the project contributes to resilience of urban areas.
We are working on developing a Digital Twin that is constantly updated with real-time data as part of the project. Our goal is to collect, combine, and interpret data from well-known sources such as rescue radios, environmental sensors, and traffic reports. This data will be merged into a comprehensive situation picture, which will serve as a solid foundation for orientation and assessment for emergency personnel and decision-makers. We will also broaden the picture by incorporating data from social media and information from drone swarm reconnaissance missions. This comprehensive method provides a detailed and dynamic view of the situation, which is critical for making successful and informed decisions.
