Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems and a Wireless Sensors Network for Radiological Accidents

الملخص EN

In critical radiological situations, the real time information that we could get from the disaster area becomes of great importance.

However, communication systems could be affected after a radiological accident.

The proposed network in this research consists of distributed sensors in charge of collecting radiological data and ground vehicles that are sent to the nuclear plant at the moment of the accident to sense environmental and radiological information.

Afterwards, data would be analyzed in the control center.

Collected data by sensors and ground vehicles would be delivered to a control center using Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) as a message carrier.

We analyze the pairwise contacts, as well as visiting times, data collection, capacity of the links, size of the transmission window of the sensors, and so forth.

All this calculus was made analytically and compared via network simulations.
