A smart and reliable crowdsourcing solution for emergency and crisis management

The RESCUER project aims at developing an interoperable information system that will support emergency and crisis management command centers in quickly handling emergencies and managing crises based on reliable and intelligent analysis of crowdsourcing information mashed up with open data. Two application scenarios will be especially investigated and supported: (1) incidents in industrial areas such as chemical parks, and (2) incidents at large-scale events such as the upcoming sport events in Brazil, namely the Football World Cup and Olympic Games. This paper presents the scientific objectives of the RESCUER project and its concept, as well as describes its components and respective related work.
