Disaster observation using a network of drones

Problem statement and objectives

The search for survivors after disasters such as floods and earthquakes is an extremely time sensitive matter. Fast localisation and retrieval of victims is essential for increasing surviving chances, which creates an obvious application for automated systems. The main goal of the design is to be able to identify the high priority zones following a natural disaster. These high priority zones could for example be the area with the highest density of survivors, or locations which are the easiest to reach for emergency services. The system should also plot the most efficient and safest route that can then be used by emergency services to quickly reach the survivors. This solution should ideally be deployed as fast as possible to provide a detailed overview of the situation the first moments after disaster struck.
