Possibilities of Using UAVs in Pre-Hospital Security for Medical Emergencies

The term unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was post-applied in the 1980s to describe remotely piloted multi-purpose, unmanned, autonomous aircraft. The terms unmanned aircraft systems with data terminal connectivity (UAS) and remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPV, RPAS-military systems) are also used. This review aims to analyze the feasibility of using UAVs to support emergency medical systems in the supply and urgent care ranges. The implementation of drones in the medical security system requires proper planning of service cooperation, division of the area into sectors, assessment of potential risks and opportunities, and legal framework for the application. A systematic literature search was conducted to assess the applicability based on published scientific papers on possible medical drone applications in the field of urgent mode. The widespread applications of UAVs in healthcare are concerned with logistics, scope, and transportability, with framework legal constraints to effectively exploit opportunities for improving population health, particularly for costly critical situations.

Urban Traffic Monitoring and Analysis Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): A Systematic Literature Review

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gaining considerable interest in transportation engineering in order to monitor and analyze traffic. This systematic review surveys the scientific contributions in the application of UAVs for civil engineering, especially those related to traffic monitoring. Following the PRISMA framework, 34 papers were identified in five scientific databases. First, this paper introduces previous works in this field. In addition, the selected papers were analyzed, and some conclusions were drawn to complement the findings. It can be stated that this is still a field in its infancy and that progress in advanced image processing techniques and technologies used in the construction of UAVs will lead to an explosion in the number of applications, which will result in increased benefits for society, reducing unpleasant situations, such as congestion and collisions in major urban centers of the world.

Development of the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in Emergency Rescue in China

With the frequent occurrence of various disaster events, China has attached high importance to emergency rescue in recent years. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more extensively used in emergency rescue, thanks to their flexibility, intellectuality, and safety in operation. It is therefore timely to evaluate UAV utilization in emergency rescue and explore the impediments to its further development in China. To date, UAVs have been mainly used for on-site monitoring and commanding, relay of communications, delivery of materials, disaster assessment, and life detection. Aerial emergency rescue is a vital component of the whole emergency rescue system in China. In the future, it is recommended that China take measures to boost UAV technical innovation and professional team development and promote the integrated application of manned aircraft and UAVs.
