The System

Howdy amigos!!
Sorry for the late post. I was busy working on my BING Maps GPS Coordinator Generator app. Its finally complete (Atleast the basic version. Think you want more in the app? Drop in your suggestions). Check it out here.
So coming back to the point and continuing from where I left my previous post, this is the post where I answer how exactly do I plan to optimize the response time of emergency services. So keeping the problems mentioned in the previous post in mind, the trio devised a solution which aimed at improving the current functioning of emergency services in India.
The stepwise outline of the project:

1. Uniting all the three services under a single phone number differentiated by their extensions.
2. Screening of calls through an automated system.
3. Identification of a vehicle base closest to the emergency site (for example : hospital, police station, fire station).
4. Creating the most optimum route (shortest possible path + least possible traffic) to reach the caller. (path planning)
5. Dedicated lanes for emergency vehicles indicated by LED lights to minimize traffic congestion thus minimizing the time consumption as well.

How this will improve the existing system?

•  Due to a common number, the public need not remember different numbers.
• Human resources required will be minimum (approximately three per control base).
• Since the path planning is already done, the drivers need not spend time in searching for an optimum route.
• Due to the illumination of dedicated lanes, the common vehicles can easily vacate it during the time of emergency and the emergency vehicle can easily traverse the route through traffic.
• Also the illumination will aid the driver in identifying the route.
• Due to use of low cost LEDs and microprocessors, the cost of installation and functioning of the system will be reduced considerably.
• The system can also prove to be a great help in time of acute crisis like terrorist attacks and natural calamities.

So this is what I plan to do in very brief. Coming up more - How much have I accomplished out of the aforementioned points? How much more do I intend to do? How do I intend to do it? How can YOU help me? Stay tuned.
Adios amigos!!
