Abstract: This paper discusses using a rocker-bogie mechanism in the field of post-disaster relief management. An incident took place in June 2014 in Chennai, India where a 12 storey building collapsed which led to severe loss of human life due to an inadequate facility in the rescue operation. Similarly in December 2015, the southeast of India, Chennai has been through a destructive flood due to heavy rains leading to massive damages and has been responsible for many irredeemable losses to both lives and properties. The flooding along with huge quantities of water also carries dirt, trees, and derbies from along their path. This damages the roads and standing structures, leaving the roads unusable. In these circumstances, the relief teams that bear the aids required during post relief missions find it is difficult to access these places. This paper here presents an insightful idea to overcome the complications faced during these critical life-saving operations.
