  Abstract

When a building collapses due to a disaster such as an earthquake, a buried person is confined under the debris of the building. In order to quickly rescue the buried person within the golden time that can guarantee the survival of the buried person, it is very important to know the position of the buried person before rescue. Position of the buried person are usually detected by using detection equipment which mainly uses sound, image and radio waves, but such equipment is expensive and the rescuer has to approach close to the victim, therefore exposing the rescuer to the danger. Another method is to collect the signals from the portable device of the buried person and find the location, but it has the disadvantage of low accuracy in an environment with many obstacles. In this paper, it is shown that more accurate positioning can be achieved by using Wi-Fi wireless signal and barometer information from portable device. The result of this study will help to locate and rescue the buried person quickly in the event of a disaster such as building collapse.
