Imass Automatic Vehicle
Location System (AVLS)
Knowing the location of mobile
resources (eg. appliances and officers) is often seen as
an enhancement of Fire Control / Mobilising systems.
However, it may also be very useful to the mobile resource
itself.
For this reason, Imass
views AVLS, based on the Global Positioning System (GPS),
as a separate facility. It may therefore be more
readily used in conjunction with Mobile Data
Communications, to enhance Command and Control or with
the in-vehicle solution by providing real-time resource
location. A complete integrated solution will
provide real benefits in both areas.
Using various levels of GPS
technology, together with additional facilities if
required, the Imass AVLS solution will provide a level of
accuracy to suit a wide range of needs under a range of
conditions. The intelligence in-built within the
Imass solution gives excellent control to tailor the use
of the technology too. This means that the solution
generates valuable information, without overload.
This information :
In conjunction with
Mobile Data / Status Messaging, assists Fire Control to
identify appropriate resources to mobilise to
incidents; Assists
the appliance or
officer to know exactly where they are and to navigate
to incidents or to other locations; In conjunction with
Mobile Data / Status Messaging, assists Fire Control
monitor the progress of appliances on-route to an
incident, helps to confirm arrival and provides an
accurate incident location where this is not known; Assists
in the analysis of
the response to particular incidents; Enables logging of
vehicle movements for use in the analysis of your
overall operation and to provide an overall view of
the arrangement of resources.
