Research Directions Mobility in collapsed
structures remains a key area of research,
worldwide. Human/Computer Interaction under
stress is receiving increasing emphasis. The
first systematic studies of Wilderness Search and
Rescue are starting to appear.
New Research Installations 2M National Testbed
for Safety Security Technologies broke ground
this spring at USF (USA). This testbed will house
indoor collapsed structure simulation
capabilities including smoke and rain.
