Adaptive Routing Strategies for Ambulance Vehicles

The ASTER project optimises the emergency care with the focus on strokes. Therefore a specified multi-criteria routing strategy has been set up in order to detect the best route to the best hospital regarding different parameters such as street and current traffic conditions. Not just the general speed limits are regarded but also implicit speed and time costs are estimated using weighting functions and external data such as dynamic data from the German MDM project. Using the open map material of the OpenStreetMap project the challenge of incomplete data is also answered using metrices. As result an intelligent routing strategies for rescue staff can be demonstrated and discussed.
