Kyros Location services applied to Firefighting Planning and Prevention

/in /by

Forestry fires often occur in hard-to-reach places, where there is little or no telecommunications coverage; all this makes more difficult perform extinction services.

La lucha contra los incendios tiene sello de Kyros Localización

Spain is an especially sensitive country to fires mainly during the summer period. However, emergency officers and firefighters have access to a 100% Spanish technology. It is Kyros Location, based on a personal GPS device that significantly improves GPS signal acquisition and allows location in rural areas with problems of coverage, ensuring that agents can know their position more accurately in case of emergency.

Police, fire brigades, emergency and rescue teams, health unit and environmental services may be able to issue an alert/warning – for example, panic. This alert indicates their location with high precision and helps their colleagues to support them or informs them that area it will be abandoned.

This GPS device, developed by Kyros LBS, is installed in vehicles or is carried by personnel themselves. Kyros platform receives real-time information about the location of agents and vehicles.

It allows control centres monitor and manage operational resources and emergency. Certainly, real-time information of location of emergency services and their movements around the fire area is essential to ensure fire extinction in the end.

GPS device developed by Kyros LBS is not only very useful in firefighting, but also in preventive and inspection tasks.

More than a conventional GPS, Kyros Location device is able to know precisely where the rescue vehicle or the team is. It is resistant to vibration, impacts and splashes; it is also designed against extreme environments without losing its function (real-time location). Furthermore, it should be small so that forest officers, firefighters or health personnel can carry it easily. It cannot only be used in the declared fire, but also in preventive and surveillance tasks after the fire. All information around the preventive firefighting services, itineraries of teams and vehicles, is essential to determine accurate Geofencing areas and calculate the burned and affected areas for further treatment.

The system has the following operation: it collects all data received by working teams and determines the burned areas and remaining areas that must be covered by the rescue campaigns. The different areas are marked with colours: blue, areas tracked by a single officer; turquoise, where several officers have tracked, so it is considered the whole area has been totally covered.

Kyros platform: Geofencing tests based on firefighters and rescue teams techniques.

Numerous government agencies and Spanish institutions use this Kyros solution to locate their teams, officers, helicopters, trucks, pumps …, that belong to their firefighting equipment. Each team or vehicle requires a customized monitoring, and Kyros allows this customization in order to prevent erroneous data. For sure, it is an essential tool to improve safety of officers, firefighters and pilots. At the same time, it provides vital information to know, in real time, how firefighting tasks are being performed.

 

“A new way to build on Europe ” – Deimos Space concludes successfully d>Vigila project

/in /by

Deimos Space concluye con éxito el proyecto d>Vigila

The development of this Project has been possible thanks to the financing of Ministry of Innovation and Science (National Plan of Scientific Research, Development and Innovation) and the European Community through the European Fund of Regional Development (FEDER)

Deimos Space concluye con éxito el proyecto d>Vigila

Deimos Spaces’ unit specialized on location technologies has concluded d>Vigila Project focusing on these three main scopes:

  1. Provide location services to vulnerable people due to own personal situation (old people, Alzheimer patients, children, hikers…)
  2. Guarantee protection and security of risk groups (gender-based violence, prisoners….)

On a technical level, d>Vigila is an ambitious project that searches  the interrelationship of three technological areas in order to define a series of location services to improve the life quality of the previous mentioned groups.

Deimos Space concluye con éxito el proyecto d>Vigila

The main research areas of d>Vigila Project is the following ones:

  1. Analysis of real needs, associated to people location in defined environments.
  2. “Integrating” different location technologies (GPS, aGPS, RFId) in a new personal device, which could provide person location even indoors with enough accuracy to withstand critical environments.
  3. Assisted GPS Server (aGPS Server) that enables these devices to obtain real position even inside facilities, as well as improve considerably starting and acquisition time.
  4. Control Centre is the platform in charge of receiving information from devices. It is responsible for analysing data, storing them and supporting related services (displaying and real-time monitoring of people who carry the devices on the different cartographies, studying and analysing the activity history routes, managing of emergency or alarm cases, as well as exchanging data with other platforms that belong to emergency services in case of accident or danger situation….)

Following  graph represents the architecture of the platform itself.

KYROS INTEGRATES ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES DEVICES

/in , /by

Kyros 6.0 integrates advanced technologies devices for Mobile Personal telemetry and Assets and Vehicles telematics. 

The new devices with advanced technologies integrated on location-based platform Kyros 6.0 enables tracking of items such as:

  • Cargo containers
  • Waste removal for clearance services,
  • Delivery packages,
  • Vehicles telematics new CAN bus and OBD parameters,
  • Personal monitoring sensors,
  • Personal devices for electronic monitoring of restricted mobility personnel and other Public Safety applications (Domestic violence offenders, House Arrest, Parole and Probation and Other Public Safety applications )
  • Personal telematics for remote Health & Care services.

The personal telematics functions of Kyros 6.0 include a new algorithm for calculating and representing levels of autonomy of the devices. In portable devices, the battery indicator is considered a “critical event”; therefore for a more precise control of this factor, Kyros 6.0 includes this event in the real-time report of the location of assets and people.
