Paper Abstract:
|
Natural disasters are an increasing domain of application of a full range of technologies and a matter of scientific and social studies due to its implications for human security, including infrastructure safety and economic savings for both persons and governments. We endeavor in producing a system to situate people in case of a natural disaster accordingly to the risk, vulnerability and personal features of individuals, mean of a traffic light signaling. The risk traffic light-based alert proposed in this paper allows calculating the Risk Index of a person in a natural disaster through an app developed to Android OS, considering seismic events as its case of study. This personalized calculation considers physiological, sensory and location variables of the user together with the data provided by the official seismic monitoring systems. In this way, the risk traffic light allows informing in a visual and personalized way the risk presented by the user, by means of three colors: green, red, and yellow. The mobile application it is called Semáforo Móvil de Riesgo Personal (SMRP), and its purpose is to provide an auxiliary digital tool for people when an earthquake occurs, based on their own physical and sensory characteristics, and improve the Risk Index calculation with the use of the smartphone integrated sensors such as GPS, accelerometer, etc. |
