“…Currently the biometric used is fingerprints. The entire set of applications such as: enrolment, biometrically encoded ID card printing, as well as validation of live fingerprint against minutiae record stored on the 2D barcode on the ID card has been developed 6 . The fingerprint record stored on the card is compliant with AAMVA DL/ID2000 specification.…”

“…Project54 software modules can be modified to support the first responders' essential equipment. The test bed system software addressed in this paper contains modules that support validation of biometrically encoded documents compliant with AAMVA's DL/ID-2000 specification 6 . Also supported is wireless transmission of biometric data (exchange of information with remote PDA), as well as remote access to specific databases through standard TCP/IP connection.…”

First responders to a major incident include many different agencies. These may include law enforcement officers, multiple fire departments, paramedics, HAZMAT response teams, and possibly even federal personnel such as FBI and FEMA. Often times multiple jurisdictions respond to the incident which causes interoperability issues with respect to communication and dissemination of time critical information. Accurate information from all responding sources needs to be rapidly collected and made available to the current on site responders as well as the follow-on responders who may just be arriving on scene. The creation of a common central database with a simple easy to use interface that is dynamically updated in real time would allow prompt and efficient information distribution between different jurisdictions. Such a system is paramount to the success of any response to a major incident. First responders typically arrive in mobile vehicles that are equipped with communications equipment. Although the first responders may make reports back to their specific home based command centers, the details of those reports are not typically available to other first responders who are not a part of that agencies infrastructure. Furthermore, the collection of information often occurs outside of the first responder vehicle and the details of the scene are normally either radioed from the field or written down and then disseminated after significant delay. Since first responders are not usually on the same communications channels, and the fact that there is normally a considerable amount of confusion during the first few hours on scene, it would be beneficial if there were a centralized location for the repository of time critical information which could be accessed by all the first responders in a common fashion without having to redesign or add significantly to each first responders hardware/software systems. Each first responder would then be able to provide information regarding their particular situation and such information could be accessed by all responding personnel. This will require the transmission of information provided by the first responder to a common central database system. In order to fully investigate the use of technology, it is advantageous to build a test bed in order to evaluate the proper hardware/software necessary, and explore the envisioned scenarios of operation before deployment of an actual system. This paper describes an ongoing effort at the University of New Hampshire to address these emergency responder needs.

“…The integration of a new device into the system is accomplished by the development of new software applications. The test‐bed software modules running on the Embedded PC are a suite of biometrics applications for fingerprint acquisition, minutiae extraction and verification, and acquisition of stored biometric and personal data (Messner et al , 2004). They also include the video application for the control of DVR54 device and the application responsible for the communication with remote server database.…”

“…On the Embedded PC side, the entire suite of Project54‐based applications enables the user to capture and verify the biometric data (Messner et al , 2004). The fingerprint‐sensing device in this case is the Veridicom 5th Sense fingerprint imager (Veridicom, 2003) interfaced to the system via a USB or parallel port.…”

“…Wireless transmission of the raw fingerprint images acquired on the handheld side is followed by subject validation on the Embedded PC. Subject enrolment and generation of 2D barcode or smart card customization containing the fingerprint minutia is performed by separate applications (Messner et al , 2004). Stored data format is compliant with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) standards (AAMVA, 2003).…”

PurposeTo design an efficient and integrated framework for automated and simple data acquisition and processing targeted for first response scenarios.Design/methodology/approachUtilizes existing software/hardware integration tools and primarily off‐the‐shelf components. Use the modular system architecture for development of new applications. System construction is preceded by the analysis of currently available devices for specific data acquisition and processing.FindingsThe development and integration of data acquisition and processing tools for first responder scenarios can be rapidly achieved by the modular and already existing software/hardware integration platform. Data types processed by this system are biometrics, live video/audio and textual/command data. The data acquisition is followed by the prompt dissemination of information from the incident scene thus overcoming interoperability issues.Practical implicationsIntegration of new modules is achieved through simple system upgrades – new applications are created and integrated while the rest of the platform remains intact. Off‐the‐shelf components used eliminate the need for specialized hardware development. The speech user interface allows simple interaction with the system in an eyes‐off, hands‐off manner.Originality/valueThe system represents an efficient platform for integrated data acquisition and processing specially targeted for first response. The test‐bed flexibility allows for straightforward integration of devices/applications handling new data type as required by the user.
