Mining Vessel Trajectory Data For Patterns Of Search And Rescue [PDF]
EDBT/ICDT 2018 Joint Conference, 2018 The overall aim of this work is to explore the possibility of automatically detecting Search And Rescue (SAR) activity, even when a distress call has on yet been received. For this, we exploit a large volume of historical Automatic Identification System (AIS) data so as to detect SAR activity from vessel trajectories, in a scalable, data-driven ...

Study on Mine Rescue Robot System
2009Mine rescue robot system consists of the carrier robot and the exploration robot. After the incident, the rescue robot system can instead of rescuers to enter the mine, collect environmental information of the scene of accident. This paper introduces the structure and components of the carrier robot and the exploration robot, and analyse separately ...

The race is on [rescue operation in mining]
Engineering & Technology, 2010San Jose isn't the first mining accident to require a complex rescue operation. Still, there are aspects of this case that set it apart from everything the mining world has experienced so far. The technique described in this article, which the whole of Chile is hoping will save the life of 33 miners following at least 12 weeks of confinement 700m ...

The path algorithm coal mine's emergency rescue
Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011Coal mine accident rescue is a huge project. But how to ascertain the place where the accident happened, the scope affected by the accident and rescue route is the key of coal mine's emergency response. In this paper, using the function of GIS's space analysis, taking in the concept of half space, constructing entity of coal mine project — relation ...
