Design of an IoT-GIS emergency management system for public road transport networks

Published:03 November 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

Public transport is an indispensable element of a modern society and is of sustained interest to emergency management authorities worldwide. In this paper, the design of an emergency management system for public road transport networks is presented. The system utilizes internet of things (IoT) technologies for monitoring traffics and critical transport infrastructures in road networks and employs geographic information system (GIS) to facilitate situational awareness and emergency operations. The system architecture is provided and functions are described with respect to different phases of emergency management.
