Softwares to optimise response time to emergencies by dispatch vehicles
PTV Group, a well-established provider of traffic and logistics software solutions, has collaborated with Tatweer to set up a real-time system that enables law enforcement authorities in the UAE to effectively manage their car dispatches to respond to emergencies.
“We worked with PTV Group to implement PTV Optima and PTV Hyperpath softwares to optimise response time to emergencies by dispatch vehicles,” said Dr. Atef M. Garib, CEO, Tatweer.
“Our software helps authorities with real-time traffic situational awareness, traffic forecast and route optimization to allow emergency vehicles to reach the emergency site as soon as possible,” commented Andrea Petti, Managing Director, PTV Group.
PTV Optima software components provide real time traffic information with an ability to forecast the traffic flow. PTV Hyperpath routing engine, integrated with PTV Optima, is used to optimize the dispatchers’ response to any emergency situations that occurs by estimating the travel time between current location of emergency vehicles and the desired destination by displaying the drive time.
The solution helps the dispatcher to select the emergency vehicle that will reach the destination in the shortest time and to guide it on the fastest route taking into consideration current and forecasted traffic congestion delays.
