Abstract

The implementation of a Location Service for Emergency Medical Services system (LS4EMSs) is the goal of this study. by integration of pgRouting algorithm, Web Map Application, and Geo-IoT devices. The study is divided into 2 parts: (1) design of a security emergency incident location alarm system that can be used to track security emergencies in real time using Geo-IoT and (2) development of Emergency Routing Service (ERS) system based on web map application. NodeMCU ESP8266 and U-blox Neo-6 m GPS module were used for implementing Geo-IoT which can connect to Wi-Fi and give information including the location of the push button triggered by an individual in an emergency. ERS can determine the best route to take from the hospital or closest ambulance to the location where the Geo-IoT device is located. Free and Open-Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) stack was used in the system’s development, since it is easily adaptable to cover different purposes, including fire, flood, or other transport movements. The Integration of Geo-IoT and Web Routing Service for LS4EMSs improves utility as it is a near real-time ERS system.
