About: Emergency locator beacon

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

An emergency locator beacon is a radio beacon, a portable battery powered radio transmitter, used to locate airplanes, vessels, and persons in distress and in need of immediate rescue. Various types of emergency locator beacons are carried by aircraft, ships, vehicles, hikers and cross-country skiers. In case of an emergency, such as the aircraft crashing, the ship sinking, or a hiker becoming lost, the transmitter is deployed and begins to transmit a continuous radio signal, which is used by search and rescue teams to quickly find the emergency and render aid. The purpose of all emergency locator beacons is to help rescuers find survivors within the so-called "golden day", the first 24 hours following a traumatic event, during which the majority of survivors can usually be saved.

  • 緊急ロケータービーコン（英語:Emergency locator beacon）とは、電池などポータブル・バッテリーにより緊急信号（電波）を送信することができるラジオビーコン。航空機や船舶、および窮迫した状況下や人命救助を必要としている個人によって使用される。航空機や船舶、車両、登山者やスキーヤーなどによって様々な種類の緊急ロケータービーコンが使用されており、航空機の墜落や船舶の沈没、登山者の遭難など緊急事態が発生した場合に送信機が稼働することによって継続的な無線信号の送信を開始する。この信号によって捜索救難組織は「緊急事態である」旨の発見を容易にし、救助活動を行う際の位置特定に用いられる。全ての緊急ロケータービーコンは要救助者が「Golden day（カーラーの救命曲線）」以内に早急に救助されることを目的としており、外傷性イベントを受けてから24時間以内に救助されることで大幅に生存率が向上する。 (ja)
