Abstract

A new Heat-Warning-System is presented to
protect firefighters in indoor operations. With the proposed
Heat-Warning-System, a permanent monitoring of the body
core temperature can be done, in order to protect the
firefighter from a collapse. Furthermore, by placing several
temperature sensors around the thorax on particular positions,
the relative location of dangerous heat sources can
be estimated. For the placement of the sensor nodes, an
empirical channel model in combination with a cuboid body
model was used, to estimate the individual transmission path
losses by taking into account the influence of the human body.
Finally, the Heat-Warning-System is tested and moreover the
locating functionality of dangerous heat sources is shown.
