| Summary: | In this project, design, development and performance of a wirelessly controlled Fire Fighting Ground
Vehicle (FIGOV) is described. FIGOV is a wireless control mobile machine that is equipped with firefighting
equipment. It carries high density camera, sensors, communication equipment, firefighting equipment and
other loads in order to control fire and perform victim searching task. The machine is wirelessly controlled
via mobile computer. The nozzle of the machine can be directed at different angle and can be elevated
in order to control fire at different height. FIGOV can be used to reduce the risks faced by fire fighters in
performing their duties. This is due to the fact to the current fire fighting techniques require fire fighters
to intervene in hazardous conditions. Working at very high temperature, dusty, low humidity, dangerous
and others are among usual working conditions associated with fire fighting. Study conducted showed that
the machine can be successfully be used in real fire fighting process. Effective use of the machine also can
avoid direct contact of human especially fire fighter with radioactive or hazardous materials that may have
immediate or long-term effects on health as well as fatigue to human. |
