Where to find help when you meet a emergency? HelpMe: a guidance system for self-rescue Kuien Liu Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences
Motivation • “Please show me the best way to escape”
Who needs this service? • Run from danger • Getting rubbed when walk alone • Go get help • save the wounded, pets and persons. • Search for gas when a car broke down • Emergency center • Official, civil or private organizations.
What does HelpMe serve us? • For persons run from danger • Daytime: run to crowdedplaces • Based on population, transportation and POI datasets • At Night: run to brightplaces • Based on nightscape, road network and POI datasets • For persons go get help • Route planning: nearest spots + shortest waiting time + fastest transportation
What kind of instructions we need? • Simpler and shorter • One-click control • Short instruction • Easy to understand • Rational • Temporal and/or spatial constrained • Globally optimal, for the wounded • Locally optimal, for the runaways • Clearly Induced • Vehicles, e.g., vacant taxi, bus/railway station nearby • Places, e.g., hospital, policy station, gas station, etc.

Scene 1: Go-Get-Help(GGH) • For a person meets a wounded man: • T1: time to run to the possible place for help • T2: time to wait on the possible place for help • T3: time to transmit the wounded to a hospital • E.g., the fastest way to hospital by bus • find the places with minimum {T1+T2+T3} T1 T2 T3
Scene 2: Run-From-Danger(RFD) • Where is the best place to run? • Run to crowded areas in daylight, or bright locations at night • Where the crowd/bright locations are at that moment? • NOAA knows, NASA knows, we don’t … • Fortunately, we have BIG DATA. • Places familiar to individual users • Places with a crowd of POIs
Technologies (1/3) • Our existing works • Algorithms • 1. Patterns of public facilities • 2. navigation • 3. route planning • Techniques on data management • To do in the future • Continuously optimizing as running • Person-to-Person, help each others
Technologies(2/3) • An Example of Route Planning • Main Road Identification Shortest Path Searching Evacuation Cost Computing Best Route Selection
Technologies(3/3) • The maintenance cost on meta-data and the retrieval cost are not trivial • E.g., the fastest way to hospital by bus Hospitals in Beijing Stops in Beijing
Prototype on Android It can be implemented as an component on the COS Operating System
