Abstract

E-learning, is education based on modern methods of communication including the computer and its networks, various audio-visual materials, search engines, electronic libraries, and websites, whether accomplished in the classroom or at a distance. Generally speaking, this type of education is delivered through the medium of the World Wide Web where the educational institution makes its programs and materials available on a special website in such a manner that students are able to make use of them and interact with them with ease through closed or shared, networks, or the Internet, and through use of e-mail and online discussion groups.

1.1. Problem definition

Under normal circumstances, it is expected that the Emergency Life cycle of a patient transfer should take an average of 15 minutes for the ambulance to arrive to the Emergency location and take an average 20 minutes to hospital. If the transfer process is delayed this could result to the death of the patient or may result some complications in the patient medical case. As we are living in a very crowded country, it is resulted that the ambulance cars are often late to arrive in time to Emergency location.

Then it was necessary to find new way to save more lives by creating a service which helps the ambulance cars to deliver the patient safely to hospital in an optimal time.

1.2. Proposed solution statement

Our Proposed Solution is building a web based Ambulance Information System

to enhance the performance of emergency life cycle over the whole area of the country. The System will be based on an optimal algorithm for routing the ambulance cars to the best routing destination to patient and nearest hospitals.

The System will find nearest Ambulance and Hospital by calculating the Distance between 2 points using The Haversine Formula For two points on a sphere (of radius R) with latitudes 1 and 2, latitude separation = 1 2, and longitude separation the distance d between the two points:

The algorithm will be a combination of shortest path techniques and traffic report data to avoid rush hours and traffic jam areas and streets.

Ambulance Information System Architecture

1.3. System features & services 1.3.1. Use Google maps API for collecting GIS Data. 1.3.2. Identify the Location of patients using Google map API. 1.3.3. Find the nearest ambulance which can immediately reach the patient as

compared to other ambulances. 1.3.4. Find the fastest routes through which the ambulances can reach the

patient. 1.3.5. Finding the fastest route from the patient to the nearest hospital. 1.3.6. Fastest route will be calculated based on a combination of shortest path

and traffic reports. 1.3.7. Status Form for monitoring serving ambulance cars and it start, finish

and delay time. 1.3.8. Admin area for managing system users, ambulance car information and

patient data. 1.3.9. Sending routing information to cars via SMS.
