    A Conceptual Design for Managing Internet of Things Devices in Emergency Situations
    (2019) Kaymaz, Burak; Ercan, Ahmet Tuncay
    Internet of Things (IoT) concept is used within low cost devices in various forms as a result of technological developments. IoT enabled devices which are commonly used in workspace we need, such as hospitals, buildings, logistics, have been developed into systems, capable of data collection and transmission. In terms of quantity, around 8 billion of sensors are connected to IoT systems as of 2017. IoT devices are integrated into infrastructure systems in large residential areas, making human life easier and becoming a need that is used at every moment of daily life. In addition to the Internet of Things devices operating in ordinary situations, devices that operate in emergencies and provide situational awareness are needed. Climate disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, tsunami, war or terrorism-related nuclear, biological or chemical attacks or conventional attacks, damage infrastructure services either directly or indirectly causing interruption of service which is needed by everyone. This thesis proposes a conceptual design with a functioning prototype which is capable of providing an auxiliary Internet connection for Internet of Things devices in the area of disaster as well as sensing IoT devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE and sub-GHz communication technologies.
