Paramedical Emergency Planning and Response System for Mysuru City using GIS Techniques

M. Vinay

Abstract


This study is conducted to create a real-time application for paramedical emergency planning and response for Mysuru city. The transportation network of the city is plays a vital role for any emergency cases. It provides the connectivity and accessibility from one place to another place. The location of Hospitals , accident spots, traffic junctions, one way details were imported to geo-database and also road network map have used and fixed with topological errors. After all that using network analysis tool in ESRI ArcGIS software, routing were done from one place to another and also closest facility analysis were performed to find best closest hospitals from the accident incident location. The output can be used for further analysis. These databases can be configured to smartphone devices and other handheld devices for efficient paramedical emergency planning and response
