Application of Mini-UAV in Emergency Rescue of Major Accidents of Hazardous Chemicals

The major accidents of hazardous chemicals always occur suddenly and result in rapid proliferation, wide range of damage as well as grave consequences. So that quick, accurate and effective response to the situation after the accidents is the most crucial part of the rescue. Meanwhile, the timely information of the accidents is of great importance to the formulating of rescue strategy and furthermore, the improving of rescue efficiency and quality. Mini-UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicle) has certain characteristics like real-time, flexible, low cost, and most of all, it can be operated in high-risk areas. This paper introduces the composition of its aerial remote sensing detection system and the application of Mini-UAVs in emergency rescue of major accidents of hazardous chemicals, especially the application of the system in the emergent processing of oil spill. At last, this paper summarizes the advantages of Mini-UAV in emergency rescue of major accidents of hazardous chemicals and points out the deficiency of the system and the ways to improve it.
