The avalanche phenomena affects the mountain environments, especially during winter season. This kind of event can be naturally caused or can be generated by humans. The number of skiers who practice freeride activities in the ski areas or away from the ski resorts is in rapid increase. This factor causes an increase of avalanche accidents. For this purpose, it is important to develop technologies able to quickly detect people buried under an avalanche, in order to improve the survival probability in case of accident. The goal of this thesis is to study and analyze the state of the art of avalanche research technologies, and to propose a possible implementation solution able to improve the actual technologies.
