本研究以路徑追蹤犬作為對象進行研究，目的在於了解搜救犬在進行追蹤時的犬隻行為，同時以穿戴裝置紀錄各項數據。研究犬隻為台中市政府消防局路徑追蹤犬，領犬員為搜救犬隊隊員李俊昇。研究設計一名失蹤者穿越霧峰區光復新村或921地震教育園區至終點，領犬員以路徑追蹤犬搭配穿戴裝置進行追蹤。犬隻於追蹤過程中會出現特定行為「停止前進並抬頭」，隨之立即改變追蹤方向，若將此行為發生後：改變追蹤方向行為加以強化，將提升路徑追蹤效率，穿戴裝置所紀錄影像及軌跡資料完全符合路徑追蹤任務所需，對於未來應用於路徑追蹤任務有顯著的效果。
最後本研究根據研究分析討論並提出建議，供未來研究和實際執行路徑追蹤工作之參考。
In this study, mantrailing dog was studied as a target to understand the behavior of the Search and rescue dog while searching, and to record the data by the wearable device. The research dog was the mantrailing dog of the Taichung City Government Fire Department, and the dog handler was the search and rescue dog team member Li chun-sheng. The study designed a missing person to cross the Wufu District Guangfu Village or the 921 Earthquake Education Park to the end point, and the dog handler use mantrailing dog wearing device to find the missing person . During the mantrailing process, the dog will have a specific behavior of “stopping forward and looking up”, and then immediately change the direction. If we training the behavior after stopping forward and looking up ,they will be more efficient during the trail. The vedio and trail data recorded by the wearable device are completely in line with the mantrailing mission, and have significant effects on the future application to the mantrailing mission.
Finally, this study is based on research analysis and recommendations for future research and practical implementation of mantrailing work.
