AIS Electronic Library (AISeL) - Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Systems Development (ISD): A Modular Simulation and Decision Platform for Enhancing Mountain Rescue Operations (original) (raw)

Abstract

Mountain rescue operations face uncertainty, difficult terrain, and limited communication. This paper introduces a modular platform combining agent-based simulation in Unity with a microservice decision engine for real-time risk assessment. The system models weather, avalanches, tourist and animal movement, and processes sensor data using logic-based inference and machine learning. Early results confirm sub-second latency and high accuracy in hazard detection. Beyond technical capabilities, the platform proposes a cloud-based, data-driven business model designed for scalable deployment in rescue services, insurance, and tourism management.

A Modular Simulation and Decision Platform for Enhancing Mountain Rescue Operations

Early results confirm sub-second latency and high accuracy in hazard detection.
