Mesh Network Applications in First Respond Service, Case Study: Policy Simulation

The advantages of mesh network provide huge potential for its application in transportation network security and first response service. The applications of mesh network in transportation security will not only improve emergency response but also help the coordination and integration across agencies, regions, and public safety and transportation disciplines. The goal of this paper is to explore the potential applications of mesh network in emergency response service and to analyze the performance of various emergency dispatching policies using simulations. The case study shows that with the help of mesh network and integrated management, promising saving in average response time and reduction in percentage of long response times can be achieved.
