Integrating Ambulance into GIS in Smart City: Problems and Prospect with P-Median Model

Among the main pillars of a smart city is smart health, and part of smart health is the availability of accurate and fast ambulance services. This study proposes an ambulance system that is integrated with GIS in a smart city with a number of problems that are solved by the P-Median model, namely determining the location of the patient, determining the location of the ambulance, and recommending the destination hospital. The scope of this project starts from the patient making a call accompanied by sending the patient's location point and incident information to the ambulance authority server through the patient application interface. Then the authority will receive the patient's identity, location and incident information through the authority's application interface. Through the authority application, a map of the available ambulance will be shown and the one that best suits the patient's condition. Next the authority will contact the recommended ambulance by sending the patient information. The simulation results of this project show that the proposed system can solve the problem in an acceptable time.
