Design and implementation on software platform of emergency management system for traffic incidents

Efficient emergency response to traffic incidents is crucial for the purpose of saving lives and properties, eliminating the impact to the smooth flow of traffic. In this paper, a software platform to design and implement a computer-aided emergency management system capable of reacting to traffic incidents in due time is described. We format the information flow of handling with emergencies. This system is divided into four parts, Incident Assessment System, Plan Database System, Scene Information Display System based on GIS and Resource Allocation and Management System. Our focus is to develop a plan generated system dynamically for actions and resources adapting to a changing environment through its action plan database. Scene Information Display System based on GIS and Incident Assessment System are also discussed in details. Key challenges in system design are also addressed. Simulation results show the efficiency of the system.
