The AIDERS toolkit is a web-based platform that offers various tools for collecting and analyzing emergency response data from UAV sensors. The incident commanders can also command, control and view the drones in real time in a 3D map environment. This enables incident commanders to extract knowledge about the field’s operational conditions and assist them in designing evidence-based response strategies.
There are also several other tools offered that are non-UAV related, such as visualizing static information (e.g a country's infrastructure), create georeferenced 3D objects, or simulate the propagation of a fire.
The toolkit is delivered in a containerized environment (Docker), along with an android application that is responsible for communicating with the UAV.
All the data are collected and stored locally on the machine the platform is installed.

To be completed.
Since AIDERS runs in a containerized Linux environment, you'd need to have Docker installed and the host machine has to be a Linux distribution:
- Docker (Tested version: 20.10.11)
- Linux OS (Tested mostly on Linux Ubuntu 20.04, but any Linux distribution should work)
- Docker Compose (Tested version: 1.29.2)
Instructions for installing and running the Docker image for AIDERS, can be found in AIDERS official site.
To develop and build your own version, go to docker-compose.yml file, and uncomment the volumes that specify the #development at the end.
