Autonomous Vehicle Rescue Simulation for Nuclear Disaster Scenarios

This project, presented during the UTA Engineering Camp on June 10, 2011, explores the development of an autonomous vehicle (AV) designed to rescue individuals from radiation-exposed areas. With the potential to operate without putting human rescuers at risk, the AV would be remotely controlled to navigate hazardous environments. The study outlines the objectives, problem statements, analysis of technical control, results, and conclusions supporting the feasibility of this life-saving technology. Implementing such systems could significantly improve rescue efficiency and safety in nuclear incidents.

  1. Nuke Rescue X Nuke By Matthew Madison and Matthew Ray UTA Access to Engineering Camp 2011 June 10, 2011

  2. Orientation Our team with AVL vehicles

  3. Outline of AVL • Objectives • Introduction • Statement of Problem • Analysis • Results • Conclusions

  4. Objectives • Simulate an autonomous vehicle (AV) rescuing people from a radiation exposed area • Be able to conduct rescue without endangering more humans than those that have already been exposed

  5. Introduction • The autonomous vehicle is driven remotely by a human, but may have some decisions made by onboard computers. • The autonomous vehicle is used for transporting, retrieval, and evacuation/rescuing.

  6. Statement of Problem • Nuclear disasters may limit human capabilities of the inflicted people to escape. • Humans cannot go into this area because it is dangerous and sometimes lethal. • The goal is to be able to send in the autonomous vehicle in the disaster area to rescue people without endangering the rescuers. • The rescuers would control this vehicle from an alternate location.

  7. Analysis • We used a terminal program, technical commands and an onboard camera to control the AV remotely. • Synchronize forward motors (Ktsf) and inform the AV how large a 1ft is using sensor feedback.

  8. 20000 30000 40000 Results

  9. Conclusion • This is entirely possible and could be used in the real world in the future. • This would be relatively cheap compared to the cost for medical assistance of the rescuer preventing the injury of the rescuer during the mission. • It would be a faster rescue than it is currently and would help save lives.
