Abstract

Trauma is the major cause of death in metropolises and it becomes even worse in developing countries, due to the huge delay between incident occurrence and patient arrival at the emergency center. Among others, a key contributing factor is the inefficient notification system that lacks essential information to the rescue services in a real-time manner. This paper describes an application framework for emergency event reporting system. The proposed approach is based on crowdsourcing that utilizes participatory sensing to leverage multiple smartphones users to collectively report emergency events. Volunteers within the vicinity of an incident can promptly trigger an alert notification to the rescue services with crucial information such as location coordinates, type of incident and number of victims. The system process this information and sent alert to the ambulance and other rescue services with optimized route details and the location of nearest emergency centers. This proposed framework found to be more efficient and comprehensive than conventional systems thus can be useful for future smart cities.
