Abstract

In the EU, the basis of the civil protection response to CBRNE, earth/disaster and humancaused accidents is the Emergency Response Coordination Center. For a fast response, two different architectures of centers of the regional system (CRS), with land and area robots, are presented and investigated. In the case of a static center, the robots are remotely controlled from the center by an operator. In this realization, the distance to the area to be investigated is restricted by the distance of possible remote control by the operator. The second one is a dynamic CBRN protection system, where the majority of CRS functions are organized on a car separate from the CRS building. By the car', the distance from the CRS to the accident place can usually be reached at the car motion speed. This is the main advantage of the dynamic system.
