Ambulances and fire brigades in the United States face increasing challenges in reaching emergency sites due to traffic congestion and false reports.
Therefore, some municipalities under pressure have turned to traffic analysis technologies
and case classification to avoid congestion.
Startups in American cities benefit as test fields for improving emergency response times,
which also helps in cost savings.
The “C2Smarter” group uses technology to facilitate the passage of fire trucks through
the busy streets of Manhattan using sensors,
while the company “Lyt” works on modifying traffic signals in San Jose and Seattle to accelerate the arrival of municipal vehicles.
The company “MD Ally” has managed to filter emergency calls in Phoenix and Fort Myers in Florida to reduce the pressure on hospital emergency departments and provide care for actual cases.
These initiatives indicate an improvement in productivity driven by artificial intelligence
and cost reduction across the United States,
promising positive outcomes that may save many lives. In New York,
the average emergency response time has increased by more than a minute compared to 2013.
C2 Smarter
“C2Smarter,” backed by the federal government, is working on developing a digital twin of Harlem’s streets in Manhattan to analyze and improve traffic.
Laura Cavanaugh, New York’s Fire Commissioner,
emphasizes the need to understand the reasons behind traffic deterioration to provide effective recommendations.
The company “Lyt” is seeking to transfer its technologies to facilitate the movement of buses and other vehicles in the city,
which helps reduce congestion and save fuel.
Challenges in emergency management also include non-emergency reports that impede services,
but Chanel Fields from “MD Ally” is working on solving this problem by separating emergency calls from non-emergency ones, which helps improve both emergency and regular health services through video consultations and other innovative services.
