Response time is a key factor to determine the quality of prehospital emergency medical service. We propose a method to estimate the response times based on a classified road network. The method takes into account different attributes that depend on road type, category, surface and class. Comparison of measured times and calculated values shows that the estimated response times are optimistical...

Method Data was collected for patients coming to the emergency department of PESIMSR, Kuppam with the history of road traffic accidents. The study was a descriptive study with prospectve sampling durng the period from October 2012 to April 2014.

A simple, but realistic, model of an autonomous emergency brake (AEB) system was studied. Using Matlab, the model was applied to 543 car‐to‐pedestrian and 607 car‐to‐bicyclist real‐world collisions gathered from the highly detailed German In‐Depth Accident Study Pre‐Crash Matrix (GIDAS PCM) and weighted for representativeness. All collisions were to the front of the car. The aim was ...

Emergency control systems influence the design, development, and maintenance of public infrastructure in a significant manner. These systems have helped to restore the infrastructure and in times prevent damages in cases of crisis. Road transportation system is an important part of public infrastructure and is one of the critical assets of a nation. Recovering from the emergency situations on t...

A realistic rescue simulation method with consideration of road network restrictions is proposed. Decision making and emergency communication system play important roles in rescue process when emergency situations happen. The rescue process will be more effective if we have appropriate decision making method and accessible emergency communication system. In this paper, we propose centralized re...
