Google map based user interface for network resource planning in post disaster management

Abstract

When disaster strikes, existing network infrastructure is jeopardized. Network Resource Planning is required for building a cost-effective communication system, to fill the communication gap. Ensuring higher packet delivery ratio along with optimal utilization of resources are prime objectives of such planning. We have designed a Web-based application based on the four tier planned hybrid architecture which conforms the aforesaid motives yielding a desired performance, for a given disaster hit area map using suitable heuristic algorithms.
