Abstract |
| The required information for managing and responding to rapid-onset disasters such as floods, storms and bushfires needs to be time-sensitive and highly dynamic. It is crucial for frequent updates on disaster information as outdated data would only impair disaster management efforts. At present, sensors turn into a very important source of real-time information. A great variety of live data with potential for supporting disaster management can be observed by diverse types of already deployed sensors in an urban area. However, these multi-sourced sensor data are produced independently by disconnected sensor data producers. In this study, we investigate the process of integrating multi-agency sensor-derived information for supporting disaster management. The research assesses Australia’s activities as the case study in disaster management of a flood by emphasizing on the response phase. This paper first identifies the real-time sensor information flow and the existing issues, thereby it proposes a new approach to overcoming these integration issues. Afterward, on the basis of the designed approach, IDDSS-Sensor is developed which is a GIS-based disaster decision support system that provides the functions for standard-based access, exchange and usage of multi-vendor sensor information. |
