Boston EMS
CompassCom Inc. has provided a Global Positioning System (GPS)-based mobile resource management solution for the city of Boston's emergency medical service (Boston EMS) in support for security for the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Boston EMS has utilized CompassTrac, CompassLDE, and CompassTrac Mobile to track the locations of city ambulances in real-time on ESRI-compatible digital maps at its dispatch center and in-command vehicles to ensure that the closest available ambulances are dispatched to respond to emergency calls.
CompassTrac Mobile is the client software specifically designed to display mobile asset tracking information on the screen of laptop computers or other mobile devices in the field. Ambulances are depicted precisely on the map screen as icons that change color to indicate their status such as light and sirens on. This enables dispatchers to see which ambulances are already responding to calls and which non-engaged ambulances are closest to the site of the emergency call to reduce response time.
