NSF Digital Government Project : SpatialTemporal Analysis of 911 Call Stream Data 9-1-1 call data contains valuable information that can be used
for improving emergency response services. The aim of this project
is to mine this data for better overall emergency planning and for
real-time emergency decision support. Our approach consists in uncovering
meaningful patterns in 9-1-1 call data through spatiotemporal analysis,
correlating them to external events, at a State-wide as well as
local level. Of particular interest is the determination of unusual
spatiotemporal trends, or "signatures", in call data and
their association with external events such as wildfires and eartquakes.
Finding such signatures will help provide advance warning to Public
Safety Answering Points (PSAP's), fire responders, and other emergency
service personnel. For this, we are using an array of advanced data
management, data analysis, data mining, and statistical techniques. |
