To be determined

The Illinois Fire Service Institute Research Program has initiated the development of a cross campus research team involving investigators from Electrical Engineering, Coordinated Sciences Laboratory, NCSA, and Beckman Institute for the development of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems to provide incident commanders with the ability to locate and track personnel, materials, and supplies throughout an incident scene. By appropriate design and placement of RFID tags and sensors, a responding firefighter will further be able to dynamically map their response domain allowing emergency egress, victim location, identification, and potentially initial triage, as well as improving the speed and accuracy of Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) response. The project proposal to the University of Illinois Office of the Vice Chancellor of Research's Critical Research Initiative program has been selected from 76 responses.
