Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) envisages a world of connected devices paired with automation systems that aid everyone in their daily activities and communities at large. One of the most prominent use cases of IoT is emergency services. Based on the lessens learned from the tragic Grenfell Tower incident in the UK, we designed an IoT framework that aims at supporting rescue services to quickly locate and identify victims in an event of emergency by using a range of heterogeneous smart systems. Based on the framework design, a prototype is developed using a RFID access control and a drone system. We also incorporate
design specifications that minimise the risk of data and privacy breaches.
