Introduction • 1.8 million registered vehicles today. [7] • 9.6 million out of 15 million of the population is in between the driving age of 16 – 65 year olds.[7] • Cambodia continues to experience rapid development and economic growth. [7] • The estimated number of vehicles will reach 2.6 million in 2018 and 3.9 million in 2023. [7] • With such rapidly growing numbers of vehicles, there is a risk of increasing number of fatal road accidents if the issue of emergency response is not addressed.
Introduction (cont.) • The absolute number of road accidents has decreased in the past years. • Challenges like speeding, drunk driving, bad road conditions, insufficient health care and unenforced traffic laws have led to an increase in fatal accidents, and the annual cost of 3.5 % of GDP (500milions USD).[7] Source: English.news.cn & phnompenhpost.com
Introduction (cont.) • What we want to do is to create a map which will show the nearest hospital to the scene of accident. • Purposes: • Inform the public of the closest hospitals. • Help emergency responding centers to take a good and quick decision. • Offer a possible way to reduce the time delay between accident and start of medical treatment
2. Methodology (Cont.) Data used: • Road Dataset (Source: OpenstreetMap) • Phnom Penh Hospitals (Source: OSM data, hand-held GPS) • Only hospital which serve for ambulance service were added to analysis.
2. Methodology (Cont.) • We will adopt the Network Analysis in ArcGIS desktop to solve the problem. • Step 1: • Assigning Topology rules for OSM road dataset • Must Not Self-Overlap, Must Not Overlap, Must Not Have Dangle • Fixing Topology errors in ArcMap • Step 2: • Fixing crossing errors (merge and split at intersections of road dataset)
2. Methodology (Cont.) • Step 3: Due to the time constraint, we did not mention some of road conditions such as One-way road, Turning, Restriction, etc. Although we assigned average Travel Speeds to road data according to road types as below: • 55 km/h for Primarily roads and Secondary roads • 50 km/h for Tertiary roads • 40 km/h for Residential roads Adding Travel Time to road data • ((([LENGHT] /1000) / [SPEED]) *60)
2. Methodology (Cont.) • Step 4: • Creating Road Network Dataset • Step 5: • Creating Hospital Service Areas using Travel Time (Minute) as impedance of the analysis setting, and break the value of 5, 10, 30 minutes.
3. Result • The map shows the covered area for each hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. • Green: 5 minutes area from each hospital • Orange: 10 minutes area for each hospital • Red: 30 minutes area for each hospital
3. Result (cont.) • Another output map which was produced with lower travel speed of ambulance. • 40 km/h for Primarily roads and Secondary road • 35 km/h for Tertiary roads • 30 km/h for Residential roads
4. Discussion • Road data, We decided to use OSM data which is an open-source data. However, the quality and accuracy of data is still considerable. • In the future, we hope to improve the results of this project by using more accurate travel times and data (e.g. road conditions, traffic density, one-way streets etc.) • It will take time and budget to cover more area in Cambodia.
