Abstract

Disasters, both natural and human-induced, pose significant threats to human life, particularly in disaster-prone regions like Bangladesh. Efficient and rapid rescue operations are crucial to minimizing casualties and damage. This study presents E-DRONE (Emergency-Drone Rescue Operation and Networked Environment), an IoT-based integrated rescue system designed for autonomous and remote disaster response. The system utilizes advanced technologies, including multi-sensor integration, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors, Air Quality Index (AQI) sensors, and ESP32-CAM modules, to detect survivors, assess environmental hazards, and provide real-time situational awareness. A Raspberry Pi 4 microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, ensuring seamless sensor data acquisition, analysis, and cloud transmission. The system leverages LoRa and 5G networks for robust communication, overcoming connectivity challenges in disaster-stricken areas. Real-world simulations demonstrate the system’s ability to enhance search-and-rescue efficiency by providing accurate location mapping, real-time thermal imaging, and AI-driven hazard detection. The results highlight the potential of E-DRONE in improving disaster response times, reducing operational risks, and optimizing resource allocation. Future advancements, including AI-driven autonomous navigation and alternative power solutions, could further enhance its effectiveness, making it a scalable and efficient disaster management tool.
