Abstract
Abstract The crucial component of a successful building fire rescue is detecting trapped individuals efficiently and supporting firefighters in planning rescue and evacuation routes simultaneously. Due to its insensitivity to heat flow, great penetration, and high accuracy, Ultra-Wideband radar is widely used in autonomous driving and medical monitoring, but it has not yet been shown its full potential in fire rescue. In light of this, a summary of eight technical challenges for finding and rescuing trapped individuals in typical building fire scenarios is provided, which could be the traction to investigate the capability state of UWB radar technology. Five technological issues that restrict the use of UWB radar for fire rescue scene detection are discussed followed. Finally, 10 important technologies are presented in three directions to deal with the issues at hand, and several advanced technologies are planned in two directions to improve the performance of UWB radar in fire rescue.
期刊介绍：
Frequenz is one of the leading scientific and technological journals covering all aspects of RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering. It is a peer-reviewed, bi-monthly published journal.
Frequenz was first published in 1947 with a circulation of 7000 copies, focusing on telecommunications. Today, the major objective of Frequenz is to highlight current research activities and development efforts in RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering throughout a wide frequency spectrum ranging from radio via microwave up to THz frequencies.
RF-, Microwave-, and THz-Engineering is a very active area of Research & Development as well as of Applications in a wide variety of fields. It has been the key to enabling technologies responsible for phenomenal growth of satellite broadcasting, wireless communications, satellite and terrestrial mobile communications and navigation, high-speed THz communication systems. It will open up new technologies in communications, radar, remote sensing and imaging, in identification and localization as well as in sensors, e.g. for wireless industrial process and environmental monitoring as well as for biomedical sensing.
