Information Gathering and Damage Prediction Problems and Solution Methods for Urgent Post-Disaster Damage Assessment via Drones

The project by OzU researchers Asst. Prof. Elvin Çoban Göktürk and Prof. Burcu Balçık Koyuncu, is selected for funding by TÜBİTAK ARDEB 1001. This project aims to establish an analytical framework that includes new routing problems and solution methods to carry out emergency damage assessment operations with drones and plan search and rescue operations with constantly collected damage assessment data during the response phase after a severe earthquake affecting a large area. It is planned to analyze the results of the framework with a realistic case analysis which is implemented for Istanbul.
