Measures

Based on SYNERGISE objectives.
First responder safety
Link to objectives:
- OB04: Improve safety by providing overviews and warnings of environment conditions
- OB03: Improve first responder health through monitoring of physical and mental state
Measures
- Exposure to hazards, e.g. time in structurally compromised buildings, hot/ warm zones or hazardous atmospheres
- FR physical and mental health, e.g. health incidents (such as heat stress, dehydaration, FR collapse), medical interventions, physiological sensor values (such as heart rate, core body temperature compared to “safe” bounds), (self-reported) fatigue
- Near-misses & accidents, e.g. near misses, hazards reported, medical evacuations, injuries, accidents
Situational Awareness
Link to objectives: Not an objective in itself. But it supports the objectives:
- OB01: Increase effectiveness through exploration, sensing and communication means
- OB04: Improve safety by providing overviews and warnings of environment conditions
Measures:
- Common Operational Picture Accuracy, ENGAGE vs ground truth, including location of victims, hazards, and FR as specified in the SYNERGISE system. To compare with the ground truth. Then categorize in localization error in meters, completeness, false positives.
- After mission SA assessment, e.g. self-reported SA e.g. same as COP, but ask them to individual FRs based on memory.
- Proxy for SA, e.g. less unexpected hazard encounters: compare how many hazards were encountered unexpectedly with human in the vicinity or compare less navigation errors.
