Method, device and system for calculating weighted deployment rules in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system for a geographical area

A computer for calculating weighted deployment rules in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system for 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 a plurality of posts;
• and
• storing a list of weighted deployment rules for deploying the plurality of emergency vehicle units to the plurality of posts;
• a user interface module for displaying a deployment recommendation;
• and
• a processor module configured to:
• receiving, from at least one external resource, location data and status information for each of a plurality of emergency vehicle units;
• storing the location data and status information for each of the plurality of emergency vehicle units in a memory buffer in the storage module;
• applying a deployment calculation formula for calculating a deployment recommendation considering the list of weighted deployment rules, the location data, the status information and the 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;
• sending the deployment recommendation to the user interface module for display;
• receiving an updated deployment recommendation from the user interface module;
• sending the updated deployment recommendation to the user interface module for display;
• calculating an updated list of weighted deployment rules in order for the deployment calculation formula to provide a new deployment recommendation considering the updated list of weighted deployment rules, new location data, new status information and a new list of priority indicators;
• and
• sending the new deployment recommendation to the user interface module for display.

A system for calculating weighted deployment rules in an emergency-vehicle-units deployment system for 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 a 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;
• apply a deployment calculation formula for calculating a deployment recommendation considering the list of weighted deployment rules,
• the location data, the status information and the 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;
• send the deployment recommendation to the user interface module for display;
• receive an updated deployment recommendation from the user interface module;
• and
• calculate an updated list of weighted deployment rules in order for the deployment calculation formula to provide a new deployment recommendation considering the updated list of weighted deployment rules, new location data, new status information and a new list of priority indicators.
