Abstract

Recent studies have reported about UAV-based disaster rescue system adopting AR technology. Performing a disaster rescue training in an environment similar to an actual disaster site results in high costs and risk of accidents. In this paper, we propose a simulation software using VR technology so that rescuer can safely and inexpensively train the operation of the disaster rescue system. Through the analysis of the existing system, we derived the requirements for virtualizing training, and developed the simulation software using Unreal Engine and Airsim API. Simulation results show that the proposed simulation software can effectively simulate the operation of the conventional disaster rescue system.

최근 AR기술을 접목한 UAV 기반 재난구조 시스템이 연구되고 있다. 일반적으로 실제 재난 현장과 유사한 환경에서 재난 구조 훈련을 진행하는 것은 높은 비용과 사고 위험이 야기된다. 본 논문에서는 AR 기술을 접목한 UAV 기반 재난구조 시스템의 운용을 구조요원이 저렴하고 안전하게 훈련할 수 있도록 VR 기술을 이용한 훈련 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 제안한다. 기존 시스템의 분석을 통하여 훈련을 가상화하기 위한 요구사항을 도출하고 Unreal Engine 및 Airsim API를 이용하여 제안하는 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 개발한다. 모의실험은 제안하는 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어가 기존 재난구조 플랫폼의 동작을 효과적으로 모의할 수 있음을 보여준다.
