Abstract
Mountain climbing, skiing, and hiking are some of the dangerous sports where many fatalities occur. Indian army is the one that is mostly affected by avalanches in India. Most of the casualties can be avoided if they can be addressed sooner. In the case of an avalanche, it is hard to find the people who got buried in it or even hard to find whether there are people buried under it. It is an important issue that is to be addressed. To tackle this problem, we have come up with a solution using long range (Lo-Ra) sensor-based technology. Using this methodology, the rescue team can pinpoint the location of the incident and the rescue time reduces drastically. When rescue can be done quickly, it drastically reduces the fatality rate. Hence, with the reported solution, we can revolutionize avalanche rescue process and thus create a positive impact in lives of people affected by this natural calamity. With this communication technology, we have achieved a wide coverage of 6 km.
