I-CART: Individual Capturing of Thermal Risks.
Firefighters are exposed to extremely high temperature conditions during interventions, but due to the sense-muting effects of their protective clothing, are unable to tell in time when they are at serious risk of being burned. To reduce the number of burn injuries sustained by firefighters, the I-CART project seeks to create a robust sensor-equipped garment that warns the firefighter when they are in harm’s way, giving them essential time to react or retract from the intervention.
