Abstract:
The drowning cases that are happened whether
in sea or ocean specially increasing cases among refugees
requires to employ the advanced technology and tools to
encounter this problem. Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud
computing techniques will be applied in marine sector to
address the problems of drowning. Internet of things that
represented in sensors, actuators…etc. generate a vast number
of data that globally known as a Big data, due to the limited
storage and processing of the physical units with the big
number of data, a cloud computing is adopted to solve this
problem. In this paper, an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)
contains GPS and Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) sensors will
be built to discover the location and approximate number of
people exposed to drowning. In addition to USV, a real-time
map system will be carried out to display this information. All
the data and information that generating from the sensors and
map system will be stored in a cloud in real-time. This work is
a part of the research and development project which is
accepted in Turkey Government with the collaboration of the
University and Industry.
