The Smart Emergency Response System Using MATLAB and Simulink

In the aftermath of an earthquake, every second counts for disaster victims. Imagine a system that can locate people quickly and help first responders save more lives.

That smart emergency response system includes autonomous aircraft and ground vehicles, rescue dogs, and a high-performance computing mission control center.

They're all connected—an example of the Internet of Things (IoT).

See how MATLAB® and Simulink® are used in this forward-looking cyber-physical system. It’s part of a vision for a smart America, and was developed with a consortium of technologists for the White House Presidential Innovation Fellows initiative, SmartAmerica Challenge.
