Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have undergone rapid advancements in performance and affordability, resulting in their widespread availability and increased attention for their potential use in the field of disaster relief. UAVs are specifically employed for confirming the extent of damage in disaster situations and providing guidance to evacuees. Many existing systems have assumed to leverage UAVs to control their movements based on disaster information, e.g., fire and building collapse, collected from ground-based sensor devices. However, in scenarios where sensor devices are damaged during disasters, collecting disaster information is difficult, rendering effective disaster relief support unfeasible. Additionally, the limited battery capacity of UAVs poses a constraint for prolonged continuous operation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an evacuation guidance system that facilitates large UAVs in searching for evacuees while simultaneously transporting small UAVs. Once evacuees are located, the small UAVs are separated to provide evacuation guidance to evacuees, eliminating the need for coordination with ground sensor devices and enabling long-duration and wide-area operation. Using a computer simulator, we confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system.
