Contribution

It introduces an application-independent approach for modeling emergency information dynamically with multiagent systems, adaptable to various scenarios.

Findings

Successful implementation on RoboCupRescue Simulation System

Effective dynamic information representation in emergency scenarios

Potential for adaptation to different emergency management contexts

Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach to build a decision support system that can help emergency planners and responders to detect and manage emergency situations. The internal mechanism of the system is independent from the treated application. Therefore, we think the system may be used or adapted easily to different case studies. We focus here on a first step in the decision-support process which concerns the modeling of information issued from the perceived environment and their representation dynamically using a multiagent system. This modeling was applied on the RoboCupRescue Simulation System. An implementation and some results are presented here.
