TRIDENT - Integrated Disaster Response & Rescue Ecosystem

A comprehensive, modular disaster response ecosystem designed to improve situational awareness, rescue prioritization, and response speed during flood and water-related emergencies.

🏗️ System Architecture

TRIDENT operates across three integrated layers:

📱 Smart Wearable (Edge Layer)

• ESP32-based embedded firmware with multi-sensor integration
• Real-time vital signs, motion, and GPS monitoring
• Edge-based emergency detection and alert generation

🖥️ Central Command Dashboard (Decision Layer)

• Web-based emergency response coordination interface
• AI-powered priority classification and resource allocation
• Real-time visualization of incidents and response teams

🚁 Autonomous ROV (Action Layer)

• Remote-controlled deployment system for emergency scenarios
• Sensor integration for environmental assessment
• Automated navigation to high-priority locations

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• Node.js 14+ (for frontend development)
• PlatformIO (for firmware development)
• Qt6 (for ROV control station)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd trident

2. Install Python dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up configuration

   cp config/development.env.example config/development.env
   # Edit config/development.env with your settings

4. Initialize database

   python scripts/development/database_reset.py

5. Start the backend server

   python src/backend/main.py

6. Access the dashboard

   • Open browser to http://localhost:5000
   • Navigate to /admin for dashboard access
