Although the communication
networks have been more important for one's life with the development of the
technology, the resiliency of networks has been focused as the subjects of
new network technology. When there are disasters, many residential areas
might be isolated because of the disconnection of communication networks.
Therefore, this paper proposes the resilient network with Autonomous FlightWireless Nodes based on the Delay Tolerant Networks
with the Data Triage Method, and then the implementation and the results of
field experiments of the prototype is discussed for the future studies. In
the proposed system, the AFW automatically flies for seeking possible
wireless nodes, send and receive disaster information by the proposed DTN
routings, and return to the possible stations that wireless charge units are
equipped when the battery needs to charge. Then, the implementations the
prototype is introduced, and the field experiments of the wireless networks
are discussed for the future studies of the proposed methods. Keywords: Delay Tolerant Networks, Drone, Disaster Information System,
