| Abstract |
| During emergency response events, situational awareness is critical in effectively
managing and safe-guarding civilians and in-field personnel. To better
support both command center controllers and in-field operators, we have
developed a mobile visual analytics tool to help enhance situational awareness
and support rapid decision making. Our mobile visual analytics tool
consists of a 2D/3D visualization component, which shows personnel-related
information, situational and static scene-related information, integrated multi
media playback functionality for personnel outfitted with cameras, and fastforward/
rewind capabilities for reviewing events. Our current system has been
employed in the evaluation of two different scenarios: a simulated evacuation
of The Station nightclub fire that occurred in Rhode Island during 2003 and
a testing exercise for a rescue operation in an elementary school. Our system
has been deployed on a Dell Axim X51v PDA, an OQO 02, and on a Sprint
PCS VisionSM smart device PPC-6700. |
