Background

The old Hotel in Hualien, Taiwan, suddenly collapsed during the demolition. The whole building was lying horizontally across the street. With the casualties unknown, The Hualien County Police Department urgently reviewed footage of CCTV cameras along the road following reports that the building had crushed a scooter rider. Meanwhile, the Hualien County Fire Department’s Special Search Brigade activated the search and rescue plan program using a life detector to confirm the location.

Respiration and movement sensors are some of the most common life detectors at present. With ultra-wideband signals, which have the advantages of low power consumption, long transmission, and accuracy, they can pass obstacles, measure breath 4.5 meters deep, and detect human activities within 6 meters. If there is movement from the trapped victim, the return signal will be different, and the lower frequency of human breathing can also be distinguishable. In addition, the human body temperature infrared detector deployed by sensing the average body temperature around 37 degrees Celsius, or colder after death.
