Pijnappel, T.R. (author), van den Berg, J.L. (author), Borst, S.C. (author), Litjens, R. (author)Drone base stations can help safeguard coverage and provide capacity relief when cellular networks are under stress. Examples of such stress scenarios are events with massive crowds or network outages. In this paper we focus on a disaster scenario with emergence of a traffic hotspot, where agile drone positioning and load management is a...conference paper 2021

Rodríguez-Espíndola, O. (author), Albores, P. (author), Brewster, C. (author)Disasters represent a significant challenge for countries globally. Balancing human and material resources during these situations is not a trivial issue, and that is further complicated by the participation of several actors at multiple periods. However, there is an absence of articles considering the importance of deploying only the required...article 2018

van den Homberg, M.J.C. (author), Monné, R. (author), Spruit, M. (author)Natural disasters are chaotic and disruptive events, with compressed timelines and high levels of uncertainty. Comprehensive data on the impact becomes only available well into the response phase and data is scattered across organizations. Data heterogeneity issues are common. Consequently, responding organizations have difficulties finding data...article 2018

(author)Situation Awareness (SA) during tele-operation in robot-assisted disaster management has a major impact on the effectiveness and efficiency. Data perceived by the human and robot agents should be processed and shared in such a way that these agents can understand and direct the other agent's behaviors. E.g., for safe and effective tele-operation...conference paper 2017
