“…También referido al problema de la gestión de ambulancias y el manejo de incidentes de emergencia se han desarrollado sistemas de información geográfica (GIS) y sistemas de posicionamiento global (GPS). Diferentes estudios demuestran que es posible mejorar los tiempos de respuesta utilizando algoritmos de la ruta más corta propuesta por el sistema 6 .…”

“…Considering rescue vehicles, the vehicle management is indicated with Computer Aided Dispatching (CAD). In [30] an integrated system for ambulances management is described, a part of this system is a GSM modem able to transmit the vehicle position (and eventually vocal messages) at the control centre. In Figure 2 a schematic representation of means related to data survey and transmission is reported, summarizing the considerations reported in this section.…”

“…user position, user condition, …) can be managed using CAD systems able, among other things, to send radio messages at the vehicle (ambulances, fire trucks) [49]. In [30] GSM network communication is used to send messages to the ambulances, these messages are related to the user position, path to following. Furthermore, the ambulance can be equipped with a monitor to display the path calculate by the control centre.…”

In this paper the application of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in road evacuation in the case of route optimization for emergency vehicles is reported. The ITS are usually used in transport to analyse the data and improve the system performances. In road evacuation, the ITS can be used at three levels: survey and transmission, control and user information. This structure allows managing an evacuation starting from the network monitoring and defining the optimal strategies to apply to speed up the evacuation procedure.

“…This is not acceptable for most GIS applications or any geodetic work, but they have been used generally for navigational purposes. However, static GPS measurements have started to be utilized for today's most stringent GIS data requirements whether it be for effectively managing ambulances [5] or urban digital cadastre [6], in precision farming [7], urban forest management [84], urban disaster management [9], or researches combining GPS and GIS [10][11][12][13].…”

Abstract:Since the advent of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) people specialised in this area or connected with GIS at an administrative or user level have been looking for economical and productive means to accomplish data acquisition tasks. Because the data acquisition constitutes a major part of any GIS, the scientific community, especially geodetic surveyors, have come up with the real time kinematic (RTK) GPS solution. This paper investigates the performance (internal and external accuracy) of RTK GPS. For this purpose, two separate tests are conducted. In the first test, three cases are taken in consideration for internal accuracy, namely, identical satellite configuration, different satellite configuration and different reference station. In the second test, two cases are examined in which RTK GPS results are compared with the static GPS and conventional terrestrial methods. The results from all the tests have proved that this modern technique is very suitable for data acquisition of GISs as well as efficient and economical.
