Detection And Tracking

Situational awareness is a critical aspect of the decision-making process in emergency response and civil protection and requires the availability of up-to-date information on the current situation. In this context, the related research should not only encompass developing innovative single solutions for (real-time) data collection, but also on the aspect of transforming data into information so that the latter can be considered as a basis for action and decision making. Unmanned systems (UxV) as data acquisition platforms and autonomous or semi-autonomous measurement instruments have become attractive for many applications in emergency operations. This paper proposes a multipurpose situational awareness platform by exploiting advanced on-board processing capabilities and efficient computer vision, image processing, and machine learning techniques. The main pillars of the proposed platform are: (1) a modular architecture that exploits unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and terrestrial assets; (2) deployment of on-board data capturing and processing; (3) provision of geolocalized object detection and tracking events; and (4) a user-friendly operational interface for standalone deployment and seamless integration with external systems. Experimental results are provided using RGB and thermal video datasets and applying novel object detection and tracking algorithms. The results show the utility and the potential of the proposed platform, and future directions for extension and optimization are presented.

Using a simulated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch center during multi-casualty incident management, this study explored whether the presence of a separate situation display in a Command and Control (C2) setting might require attention at the expense of attending an individual task display, and how it influenced performance and situational awareness. Overall, participants always attended the task display more than the situation display. However, the situation display drew attention at the expense of attending less the task display. The presence of the situation display was related to improved performance and better situational awareness (SA), particularly in the projection level of the SA, which could account also for the better decision-making performance. Participants may have developed an attention allocation strategy to effectively utilize the information of the situation display and execute their tasks on the task display.

Competence Framework

In the competence framework of the EU's educational policy, entrepreneurial and communication competences have a special place in the development of modern and functional citizenship, and they overlap to a great extent. The paper approaches entrepreneurial competences as transversal competences applicable in all areas of life – a system of competences transferred to different areas of activity. Communication competence is an expected outcome at all levels of education, and the paper highlights key communication competences that are relevant for entrepreneurial behavior as well. In addition to openness, flexibility, and other traits and competences shared by both systems of competences, the paper also underlines the common aspect of communication and entrepreneurial competence – situational awareness that represents the first step in improving communication, whereas entrepreneurial awareness guides adequate decision-making in entrepreneurship. This connection between communication and entrepreneurial competence directs teachers to implement teaching procedures to develop communication competences that, at the same time, contribute to the development of entrepreneurial competence.
