Current mobile and pervasive technologies (e.g., PDAs, GPRS/UMTS and WiFI connections, etc.) enable the development of adaptive peer-to-peer software infrastructures for supporting collaborative work of human operators in emergency/disaster scenarios. In this paper, we present a novel architecture, named MOBIDIS (Mobile @ DIS), currently under development in the context of an IST research project, in which operators, equipped with hand-held devices, are coordinated by a workflow management system able to adaptively change the process schema in order to cope with anomalies. Some preliminary experimental results are also presented.

The mobility management system for mobile cloud computing, M 2 C 2 , aims to select the best cloud and network for processing sensor data while responders are in an emergency area. Natural and manmade emergencies can cause tremendous economic, environmental, and, most importantly, human loss. Recent emergencies, such as the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, caused significant loss of human lives. It is estimated that more than 280,000 lives were lost due to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. 1 A recent report argued that the use of an information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure could be beneficial for evaluating and responding to emergency situations. 2 However, ICT's full potential in emergency management is yet to be realized. For example, we need robust ICT systems that provide situational awareness of the emergency area and offer improved decision support to manage emergencies efficiently ISSN 2395-695X (Print) ISSN 2395-695X (Online) Available online at www.ijarbest.com

In this paper we present a Health Emergency Event Notification system, which is intended to support the monitorization of the elderly health care; focusing on seamless service mobility paradigm. The system is composed by five features: i) the vital signs recording, ii) emergency contact phone numbers register (for SMS -Short Message Service and phone calls), iii) monitorization profile creation, iv) messages notification management, and v) local mobile storage service. Our architecture was designed to drive information through the WiFi / Cellular network from a WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) even when there is not real-time connection. This proposal considers as restriction connectivity costs. The proposal was designed considering the Scenario-Based Design methodology. In formation is related to a proyect conducted a long one year in Harmony house. Meanwhile, we were designing the communication infraestructure. Our architecture was evaluated by 2 caregivers and 2 nurses from Harmony house. The results showed high scores in analyzed aspects: perceived ease of use, usefulness and intended use. We conclude that in order to complement and enhance the initial design, it is necessary to carry out an in-site evaluation. Our future work includes to analyze the architecture performance under different connectivity scenarios.

Vehicle accidents resulting in trauma occupy the fourth place as a cause of death, in middle and low-income countries and the tenth cause of death worldwide. Paramedics, physicians, and emergency room staff coincide that in order to decrease the possibility of a patient suffering an irreversible damage, qualified medical attention must be given within the first hour of the accident (the so called golden hour). However, first-response emergency workers in low and middle income countries are mostly volunteers with minimal medical training; additionally, there is a shortage of these first aid responders worldwide. In this chapter we show that, by using pervasive and ubiquitous information technology currently available, it is possible to alleviate part of the problems stated above. In particular we include the use of mobile devices, wireless communication and remote body health sensors to build a system that allows the delivery of professional medical assistance in emergency situations. In the chapter we present and discuss the software architecture for assisting paramedics while attending victims of traffic accidents. Our discussion is based on a project that we have developed called ERPHA (Emergency Remote Pre-Hospital Assistance).

Our project's major goal is to provide a smart method to an emergency vehicle during a peak hour and to create a smooth flow for the ambulance to get to the hospital on time. If the patient is trapped in traffic and is not provided the right route because of the holdup, he or she may die. We are introducing a new mode dubbed "ambulance mode," which will regulate traffic within the ambulance's path. Because this plan is automated, it selects the optimum route, allowing you to get to the hospital on time. This is frequently not selected only for an ambulance. It is preferred for other emergency vehicles, such as a fire engine. We have chosen to create an application that would give a "Green Corridor " to the ambulance. The project is divided into three modules: User, Admin, and Driver. Because of the high traffic, the ambulance driver initially did not know the exact position of the accident site, and as a result, we were unable to save many people's lives. Because everything in today's technology runs on smartphones and applications, we developed a mobile application that allows for real-time tracking of ambulance services. Ambulance drivers will be able to register their availability and location via this app. Either the executive emergency helpline or client-side users will schedule an ambulance and the user login. Once the user's position is located on the Google map, the close ambulance will also be marked on the map, Once the patient is on board, the ambulance position is indicated and sent to the administrator; this location is then shared with the ambulance driver, and a list of hospitals is indicated on the map, allowing the administrator to select the nearest hospital to take the patient on time. The navigator geolocation approach is used to track the ambulance's whereabouts. This method will aid in the updating of the ambulance location in the database. Furthermore, the ambulance driver may manage the traffic signals along the impending ambulance route by switching from red to green signals.

The paper describes the need for, and work in progress to provide the French population with a modern emergency communication infrastructure that uses open source components to deliver real time communications from smart phones as well as traditional routes. The article puts forward the vision of the NexSIS 18-112 project aimed at designing and implementing the next generation AI enhanced emergency services response platform for France. The vision and ambition of the NexSIS 18-112 system is to rewrite the command and control system from scratch at a national level, providing it with state of the art functionalities. Anticipating the future deployment of 5G networks, the work described in the article explains how to ensure the transition of the legacy emergency operation systems to an operational IPbased model, capable of offering voice, video, Instant Messaging, and Real Time Text (RTT) services to emergency services' operators.

In serious emergencies, as in the case of floods and extreme weather conditions, where a substantial number of people are involved and over vast areas which may also involve different provinces, currently civil protection planning carries on emergency management operations within rigid schemes. A procedure that would be capable of handling events acquiring data continuously and developing real time solutions in a highly flexible manner has not yet been proposed. This research focuses on how the systematization of information systems and communication processes can improve the management of emergencies caused by extreme weather and climate events. The objectives of improved service, levels of safety and sustainability of the intervention in emergencies would be obtained through a centralized decision support system. The system and tools that are presented in this paper aim to respond to emergency issues dynamically responding to the dynamics of the events by taking advantage of an information system capable of sharing data, notifications, service orders, appeals for help, information on the status of the transport network and any other information. The system would provide decision support by acquiring information from smartphones and other nomadic devices; it would so provide exchange of information in real time on one or more virtual platforms among stakeholders and between them and the citizens. Substantially, the system is based on smartphone applications coupled with a central management emergency Decision Support System specifically built to make best use of the possibilities offered by the latest telematics systems and cooperative web and phone-based tools.

When emergency services are in a crisis situation, one of their major needs is to have efficient communication. Every person involved needs to have the most up-to-date and relevant information at all times and needs to be able to communicate with his colleagues effectively. In order to support this, it is important that the network used by the emergency services supports all necessary communication flows to make this communication as smooth as possible. In this paper, we will describe the end-to-end system architecture we developed and implemented in the IBBT 1 project ADAMO -Advanced Disaster Architecture with Mobility Optimizations.

Emergency calling is fundamental and critical for devices because they must work for Android users while satisfying various carrier and regulatory requirements all over the world. Emergencies can happen anywhere and at any time. The very nature of an emergency is unpredictable and can change in scope and impact. Being prepared and planning ahead is critical to protecting lives, the environment, and property. To overcome problems while facing emergency situations we need a simple and easy application. For this, we create an application that has automatic call and location-sharing services in an emergency situation. This will help us to share the location with our family and nearby hospitals or OPDs and also be useful to the automatic message sending & SOS. For this, we select some famous emergency applications and study them. But some applications are region-based applications And every application has different features. Due to this, it is difficult to use an emergency application in emergency situations. To overcome this problem we develop an application that is not region-based, consists of all features, and is easy to use in any condition.
