Urban search and rescue - Guideline for the application of a test method for innovative technologies to detect victims in debris

 
  •  

Scope

The planned CEN Workshop Agreement specifies requirements and recommendation on the set-up of a field test and a test methodology for Urban Search and Rescue (USaR) equipment for the detection of victims under debris. A realistic field test is described to gather information to test for example a Soft Miniaturized Underground Robot (SMURF) or drones equipped with specialized sensors, e.g. preparation of debris cones made of different materials. Furthermore, a performance test method for each component and the complete USaR system is described. The purpose of the test method is to specify the apparatuses, procedures, and performance metrics necessary to quantitatively measure a search and rescue kit’s abilities. The planned CEN Workshop is intended to be used by Urban Search and Rescue (USaR) equipment manufacturers and developers. The planned CEN Workshop is not primary intended to be used by first responders, although the user community is benefitted by the relevant guidelines to be put in place.
