MapmyIndia launches Mappls To Enable Faster Emergency Response
Yesterday, MapmyIndia announced the launch of Mappls, an integrated GIS & GPS enterprise solutions division committed to addressing important challenges faced by Indian government agencies and the private sector. One of the first solutions from the Mappls division is Mappls SafeWorld Computer-aided Dispatch (CAD) Solution for Emergency Response, which enables authorities to rapidly respond to incidents of crime, emergency, and terrorism in India.Mappls SafeWorld CAD Solution for Emergency Response combines five critical elements:
- MapmyIndia’s Map Data with detailed vector maps of India, including house and building level detail in full 3D
- Computer-aided Dispatch Software to match call taking, fleet monitoring, dispatch and communication workflow for emergency responders
- GPS tracking hardware which can withstand the environment conditions and communicate effectively
- GPS navigation devices that can assist the driver in reaching the incident, down to house level, quickly and precisely
- Seamless and intelligent systems Integration including CCTV surveillance, communication infrastructure and workflow of the emergency responders to ensure to ensure intelligent, efficient end-to-end solution
Mappls SafeWorld CAD solution is an end-to-end solution, which can be deployed, controlled and operated by government agencies or corporates such as: Police, Fire & Ambulance, Homeland Security, Counter-Terrorism, Defence, Disaster Management, and People & Asset Safety.A city’s police department, for instance, can use the solution to accurately identify the address given by the distress caller on a digital map. They can then automatically identify the nearest police station and nearest available and appropriate vehicle from where the incident has been reported. Once they have identified the vehicle, the police department can automatically communicate the GPS coordinates of the incident to the responding vehicle. GPS navigation will guide the vehicle to the incident site, using house and building level navigation. The whole process will be monitored in real time by the control room until successful closure. In addition, the Mappls solution help citizens and government officials monitor and transparently share information regarding whether police vehicles and personnel are patrolling assigned routes/locations at assigned times, as well as the turn-around times to ensure rapid response to emergencies.
