Towards Improving Situation Awareness during Emergency Transportation through Ambulance-2-X Communication and Semantic Stream Reasoning
Abstract
With the recent introduction of the eCall system, the cars involved in accidents exchange relevant information directly with the emergency healthcare services. For road safety, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks can be used to exchange safety information between cars and ambulances, via vehicle-2-x communication. In this paper, we exploit recent advances in vehicle-2-x communication and the advantages of knowledge representation and reasoning in order to deploy cooperative communication for medical emergency services. The developed system continuously matches data retrieved from inter-vehicular communication with structured knowledge from vehicular ontologies and open street maps.
