This project will design and trial a new service called WiMed that provides high-quality, robust data communications between moving ambulances and the destination hospital. WiMed maps a small number of large flows to multiple wireless networks. WiMed is application aware and able to cross-layer and cross-application optimization when connectivity characteristics change due to ambulance location. The communications capability will enable high-quality audio-visual links and real-time patient data transfers between the ambulance and the receiving emergency room enabling an early assessment of a patient condition by a doctor and thereby reducing treatment delay. It will also enable trialing of feeding real-time traffic video feeds to the ambulance driver in support of navigation guidance for ambulances. Wireless networks that will be used in the project include the UW-Madison GENI WiMax network, available WiFi networks, and various public 3G/4G networks. The WiMed system will be trialed on ambulances operated by the West Allis Fire Department, part of the Milwaukee County Emergency Medical Services.The project will enable medical ambulances to establish high-quality, robust audio-video and data links between the ambulance and emergency room doctors thus leading to faster treatment for patients needing emergency services. All students involved in the project will acquire significant hand-on implementation, experimentation and deployment experience in wireless systems applied to socially important applications.

该项目将设计和试验一种名为WiMed的新服务，在移动中的救护车和目的地医院之间提供高质量、强大的数据通信。WiMed将少量大流量映射到多个无线网络。WiMed具有应用感知能力，能够在连接特性因救护车位置而发生变化时进行跨层和跨应用优化。通信能力将实现救护车和接收急救室之间的高质量视听链接和实时患者数据传输，从而使医生能够及早评估患者的情况，从而减少治疗延误。它还将实现向救护车司机提供实时交通视频馈送的试验，以支持救护车的导航指导。该项目将使用的无线网络包括UW-Madison Geni WiMax网络、可用的WiFi网络和各种公共3G/4G网络。WiMed系统将在西艾利斯消防局运营的救护车上进行测试，西艾利斯消防局是密尔沃基县紧急医疗服务的一部分。该项目将使医疗救护车能够在救护车和急诊室医生之间建立高质量、强大的音频、视频和数据链接，从而为需要紧急服务的患者提供更快的治疗。所有参与该项目的学生将在应用于社会重要应用的无线系统方面获得丰富的实践、实验和部署经验。
