BRIDGE MESH

Opportunistic networking- Discovery of devices in the area- Including willing devices into

network- Build new routes- Use new routes for reliability

Use case- Victims burried in a tunnel can

switch on MESH software on their smartphone

- Smartphones create a network- If one smartphone gets in reach

of the deployed network all help messages can be forwarded to rescue teams

BRIDGE RescueMe App

Offers victims two functionalities:

- Enable victims to inform the rescue service about their status, and

- Receive information (e.g., confirmation messages) from the rescue service.

Implementation (Status March 2012) Alive beacon (help message) from

victim sent and then displayed on BRIDGE Master

Receive confirmation message from rescue service (through BRIDGE Master interface via mesh to victim)

CAST Project Objectives

1. Enable FR to manage the aftermath of a catastrophic terror attack in a safe and efficient manner

2. Strengthen FR response capability after a severe industrial accident or a large scale natural disaster

3. Provide network of information on security-related technologies

CAST Main Results

1. Database on disaster management after major terror attacks, industrial and natural catastrophes

2. Database on FR infrastructure in the EU

3. Virtual Reality Training System for FR training

4. Standardized curriculum for a security-centered training course for FRs in the EU
