Objective
STARRS project focuses on the design and development of technology for the improvement of environmental risk/crisis management, especially in search and rescue operations (to detect and locate victims' position with a good accuracy as well as to allow alert broadcasting to people in emergency situations.)
People in danger will be detected, located and rescued through their basic cellular radio handsets (GSM and UMTS mobile phones). Additionally, headquarters of rescue teams will be able to know the location of rescuers within the intervention area through their professional handsets (TETRA and TETRAPOL mobile handsets).
The STARRS project will study and develop two test beds (one for helicopter and one for a pedestrian rescuer), which will be tested and evaluated through field trials, in order to get operational performances. The STARRS testbeds will be autonomous from network, and then can be used in real disasters situations.
In order to define the multi path location algorithms of the test beds, a signal propagation study in some specific environments (as urban collapsed building) will be realized first. Then a system study will define detection and location protocols for GSM/UTMS and TETRA/TETRAPOL. In parallel, a signal processing study will aim to design appropriate tracking algorithms. Finally, the two tesbeds, with transmitters, antennas, receiver and processing unit will be developed and tested in selected scenarios.
Typical rescue situations/scenarios will be specified by the end users of the project in order to establish the requirements of the STARRS testbeds, such as: search of lost people in mountains areas, fire forests and collapsed buildings.
In addition, a new concept, called "Over The Air Safety Reply", that will allow automatic reply from rescue team handsets, will be promoted to 3GPP for standardization.
The results of the STARRS project will be disseminated throughout Europe, to network operators and rescue end users.
