Intrace
Smart System to Alert and Rescue People During Earthquakes
Intrace is an immediate solution, able to increase the number of survivors if a building collapses during and after an earthquake. The Intrace device reduces the probability of people being severely injured during the tremors by assisting people in following safety procedures. At the same time, the device captures data from inside the building and sends it to the Security and Emergency Departments. Intrace makes it possible to know the exact number of people trapped in each collapsed building and their location, so there is no need to search randomly.
