Computer 工程's Emergency Connectivity Project Awarded $200K

The National 科学 Foundation (NSF) has awarded $200,000 to the 菠菜网lol正规平台 research team of Kaikai Liu, Younghee公园, Jerry Gao (Computer 工程), and 弗朗西丝·爱德华兹 (政治学). The funding will be used to develop a self-powered community infrastructure for emergency connectivity that can operate after catastrophic occurrences such as earthquakes, weather-related disasters, or terrorist attacks. 发展 site for this new technology will be the City of San José.

One of the key factors for creating a safer and more resilient community is rapid communication from citizens to public safety agencies during an emergency. 使 it possible for citizens to provide disaster assessment information from their own locations - describing traffic, environmental and safety issues -creates a more comprehensive view of community conditions, which leads to more effective emergency responses.

To accomplish this, he team’s research will focus on multi-modal communication, a software-designed edge cloud, and mobile enabled resilient quality test and automatic 验证. The research conducted will be highly integrated into 菠菜网lol正规平台 computer engineering courses and senior design projects.
