Method, device and system for calculating a list of priority indicators, in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system, for each of a plurality of posts

A computer for calculating a list of priority indicators, in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system, for each of a plurality of posts in a geographical area, comprising:

• a storage module for:
• storing location data and status information for each of a plurality of emergency vehicle units;
• storing a list of priority indicators associated to each of the plurality of posts;
• storing a list of weighted deployment rules for deploying the plurality of emergency vehicle units to the plurality of posts;
• storing historical data of past deployment, each past deployment providing a target post from the plurality of posts for one of the plurality of emergency vehicle units and an associated event;
• and
• storing a list of upcoming events for the geographical area;
• a user interface module for displaying a deployment recommendation;
• and
• a processor module configured to:
• receive, from at least one external resource, location data and status information for each of a plurality of emergency vehicle units;
• store the location data and status information for each of the plurality of emergency vehicle units in a memory buffer in the storage module;
• calculate an updated list of priority indicators for each of the plurality of posts based at least on the historical data and the list of upcoming events;
• store the updated list of priority indicators in the memory buffer in the storage module;
• calculate a deployment recommendation considering the list of weighted deployment rules, the location data, the status information and the updated list of priority indicators in the storage module, the deployment recommendation comprising one or more suggested deployments, each suggested deployment providing a suggested target post from the plurality of posts for one of the plurality of emergency vehicle units;
• and
• send the deployment recommendation to the user interface module for display.

A system for calculating a list of priority indicators, in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system, for each of a plurality of posts in a geographical area, the system comprising:

• a network comprising a computer and at least one server;
• and
• the computer being configured to:
• receive location data and status information for each of a plurality of emergency vehicle units from the at least one server through the network;
• store the location data and status information for each of the plurality of emergency vehicle units in a memory buffer;
• store a list of priority indicators associated to each of the plurality of posts in the memory buffer;
• store in the memory buffer a list of weighted deployment rules for deploying the plurality of emergency vehicle units to the plurality of posts;
• store historical data of past deployment in the memory buffer, each past deployment providing a target post from the plurality of posts for one of the plurality of emergency vehicle units and an associated event;
• store a list of upcoming events for the geographical area in the memory buffer;
• calculate an updated list of priority indicators for each of the plurality of posts based at least on the historical data and the list of upcoming events;
• store the updated list of priority indicators in the memory buffer;
• and
• calculate a deployment recommendation considering the list of weighted deployment rules, the location data, the status information and the updated list of priority indicators from the memory buffer, the deployment recommendation comprising one or more suggested deployments, each suggested deployment providing a suggested target post from the plurality of posts for one of the plurality of emergency vehicle units.
