Research

 

This research project is planned for a period of 2 years with the following four tasks and milestones (management meetings will be held every quarter to monitor the project progress):

 

 

 

Task 1:

Analyze existing technologies; initial design of the proposed MCSDSS system; group teleconference meeting to finalize the research tasks to develop the proposed system. Design and develop spatial-temporal databases system for MCSDSS fire response; integrate social and infrastructure data pertaining to municipal/corporate fire risks and location-aware information from emergency assets

Task 2:

Develop location-aware low-cost sensor system on fire emergency response assets including real-time data acquisition, in-sensor embedded data management, data transmission and access; Develop MCDA models and emergency management systems including ANP system for MCSDSS and integrate MCDA and geo-spatial technologies.

Task 3:

Develop a MCSDSS fire response prototype system by integrating all functions and components including hardware and software integration; assess the prototype system under operational environments and analyze the performance with respect to a number of parameters. Develop graphical user interface and conduct sensitivity analysis for MCSDSS fire response; develop methods for data integration in decision making and the optimization of the interaction between the computer system and the user

Task 4:

Field-testing will be conducted to confirm the ability of the MCSDSS to receive and send messages from location-aware sensors using efficient wireless technologies. Demonstrate the prototype system to fire emergency service agencies in collaboration with our project partners and develop plans to transfer the developed technology to support operational implementation.
