Funded by: Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica, desarrollo e innovación tecnológica

Period from: 01/10/2009 hasta: 30/06/2012

Main researcher: José Luis Villarroel

Project description: The SICRA project considers the conception, developement and validation of a management system of rescue for snow avalanche victims in a real environment. SICRA suggests combining mesh networks systems (based on Zigbee protocols or similar over IEEE 802.15.4 technologies), GPS and assisted in communications geolocation, creating a expert system in order to help the rescue and integration teams with a control center that could help them to manegement and plan the actions in an optim way.
