Intelligent Mobile Distributed Management Systems for Emergencies Such as Earthquakes or Fires: A Systematic Literature Review

Distributed mobile intelligent systems for emergencies refer to those systems that help handle and expedite the activities that must be carried out before, during, and after an earthquake or fire occurs. Different works in the specialized literature have proposed the design and development of this type of system with different characteristics and functionalities; nevertheless, no secondary study presents a comparative analysis of these works. This paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of distributed intelligent mobile management systems for emergency cases such as earthquakes or fires proposed in state-of-the-art. The primary works selected in our SLR process were analyzed and compared regarding their services, the proposed software architecture, and the method for locating people indoors. This work has identified that the fingerprints method is mainly used for locating people indoors, and the lack of a reference software architecture to construct management systems focused on emergency cases.
