Ambulance route optimization in a mobile ambulance dispatch system using deep neural network (DNN)

Abstract

The ambulance dispatch system plays a crucial role in emergency medical care by ensuring efficient communication, reducing response times, and ultimately saving lives. Delays in ambulance arrival can have serious consequences for patient health and survival. To enhance emergency preparedness, decision trees are used to analyze historical data and predict ambulance demand in specific locations over time. This helps in planning the necessary number of ambulances in advance. In situations where ambulance resources are limited, a support vector machine (SVM) evaluates patient data to optimize the distribution of available ambulances, ensuring that the most critical patients receive timely medical attention. For real-time route optimization, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning model is used to adjust ambulance routes based on current traffic and road conditions, achieving an accuracy of 99.15%. By improving dispatch efficiency and communication, the proposed machine learning-based ambulance system reduces the burden on emergency services, enhancing overall effectiveness, particularly during peak demand periods.
