Abstract

The time for searching and locating victims in disaster-relief work is a key factor for the rescue efficiency. A fast search and locating operation can significantly reduce casualties and property loss. A cellphone search and locating system based on Pseudo Base Stations (PBS) is described in this paper to alleviate the problems caused by lack of rescue resources and large rescue areas. The receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) data and cellphone signal transmission power data were collected in simulated disaster areas. Then, data was analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of searches in large disaster areas. The data analyses show that the system can search and locate cellphones in large areas for use by rescue teams in widely damaged areas.
