Rescue equipment

One of the most crucial safety factors in the event of a disaster such as a fire is the quality of infrastructure; the extent to which it facilitates or hinders speedy evacuation. This evacuation guidance UAV is designed to augment existing evacuation infrastructure. In the event of an emergency in a crowded outdoor venue, it uses images and sounds to quickly and efficiently guide people to safety.

JURY STATEMENT

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) have found a variety of applications in the past two decades – though principally in the contrasting areas of military defense and photography. This design brings drones into the field of emergency response and rescue, and opens up a whole new range of applications.

WINNER STATEMENT

We're delighted to win this award, having devoted a lot of time and energy to this project. Now it feels that all of our efforts were worth it. It gives us a lot of confidence to devote ourselves to careers in design.
