– http://www.react-ist.net Current emergency services situation in Europe • Fragmentation of Emergency Services • Unique 112 (EU 911) -> still far from reality • Only some European regions have unified emergency services (i.e. Ambulances and Fire Fighters) • Need for interoperability

– http://www.react-ist.net REACT • EU Project funded in 2006, finishing in 2009 • 7 technical partners from UK, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Slovenia, Austria • 3 End Users • Focused in: • Citizen-to-PSAP interaction • PSAP-to-PSAP coordination for incoming calls and incident knowledge • Don’t focus on resources mgt
– http://www.react-ist.net REACT - The mission “Reaction to Emergency Alerts using voice and Clustering Technologies” Main goals: • capture more of the information available from sensors, being them “human” or technological • make this information available to as many local Emergency Call Services as possible, by creating an interoperable European information-structure • complement the data with associated services able to semantically analyse and cluster environmental and crisis management information • Keeping data transfer secure Voice capturing E-Call Interoperability Call grouping

– http://www.react-ist.net Additional services • Call and Incidents content mgt • Semantic Analysis of calls • Call Grouping for a wider view on an event • Voice recognition • Capturing keywords (e.g. “gun”, “fire”) • Suggesting keywords to the call-taker • Automatic translation of local codes into general codes • i.e. using TSO dictionary
– http://www.react-ist.net Where we are now • Architecture Defined • 1st Round implementation completed • 1st verification round currently happening • Interoperability – Achieved • Voice recognition – Achieved • Call Grouping – Partially achieved • Trials will start in February next year
– http://www.react-ist.net REACT Architecture • Loose coupling between components • Uses standard TCP/IP based protocols and links • XML • Web Services • Atom Feeds • Common Alerting Protocol as Calls/Incidents Message format • TSO as Incident Dictionary

– http://www.react-ist.net Using a common dictionary • CAP alone is generic in classifying incident (cap.alertinfo.category.code) • Local codes will be, in any case, sent to recipients in original format (in cap.alertinfo.event.code) • For being interoperable across different nations TSO dictionary has been selected in REACT

How can a C&C becomeinteroperable with other C&C’s? – http://www.react-ist.net Identify who they need to interoperate with Agree on a common dictionary or adopt an established dictionary (i.e. TSO) Match their local codes against an this dictionary Adapt their C&C to generate and receive CAP messages Adapt their C&C to process and display the received messages
CAP adopted by Italian Firemen Corps – http://www.react-ist.net The Italian Ministry of the Interior has issued a formal decree concerning the sharing of data between the fire department and other emergency organisations, such as the ambulance service. The decree – published in the government’s Official Journal of 3 July – defines the communication protocols for exchanging data and information between emergency service command and control rooms. This is the first time in Italy that an emergency organisation will open its databases to other similar organisations, providing they adopt the communication protocol which has been defined and developed within the REACT project.

– http://www.react-ist.net An example of an unexpected application in Italy • Although 112 is an emergency number, each emergency agency can be reached with different numbers (113, 115, 118) • Caller not speaking Italian are often managed with problems • With REACT in place, keywords may help... • ...but it is possible to forward the call to another call-taker who can gather information in the caller language and make them instantly available to the local call-taker
– http://www.react-ist.net Conclusions • Integrated use of both CAP and TSO as enhanced protocol for representing and sharing information about events • Adopted by Fire Brigades in Italy • Issues: • Make current C&C Systems “CAP compliant” • Define CAP message content • Agree on a common data dictionary: i.e. TSO is a bit primitive for Police officers • Demonstrate the interest of the solution: at the end, from end user perspective, is just a “dot” on a screen that pops up… How to perceive the value? • Trials in Venezia / Aachen / UK aims at demonstrating the concept • Open issues: usage of some CAP fields • cap1091.xml
