Next generation EOC (emergency operations centre)

拟议的CRD项目，下一代EOC（紧急行动中心），将侧重于概念化，设计和评估创新的软件原型，重点是公共安全和应急准备，以支持下一代EOC。我们将研究多表面技术，增强现实和视觉分析的使用，以支持公共组织和大公司的危机管理团队。 我们的行业合作伙伴C4i Consultants Inc.将根据拟议项目的结果和原型开发新的应急规划和操作工具产品线。C4i客户将能够更有效地处理危机情况，降低整体社会成本。我们认为我们提出的研究项目具有创新性，有可能对科学领域做出重大贡献，并具有很高的商业潜力。 该项目将研究和创造新技术，以支持应急响应规划和操作。为了支持危机管理团队，我们将研究多表面技术，分析和可穿戴计算方法。为了加强对未来紧急情况的处理，我们将开发技术，对紧急情况期间收集的数据进行事后分析，并将吸取的经验教训纳入培训活动。 从全球的角度来看，该项目将加强加拿大的信息和通信技术产业，并将通过为领先的产品提供基础，加强C4i进入国际市场的机会，这些产品可以在各种平台和文化中翻译和重复使用。

The proposed CRD project, Next Generation EOC (Emergency Operations Centre), will focus on conceptualizing, designing and evaluating innovative software prototypes focused on public safety and emergency preparedness to support next generation EOCs. We will investigate the use of multi-surface technology, augmented reality, and visual analytics to support crisis management teams in public organizations as well as large corporations. Our industry partner, C4i Consultants Inc., will develop a new product line of emergency planning & operation tools based on the results and prototypes from the proposed project. C4i clients will be enabled to handle crisis situations more effectively and more efficiently, reducing overall societal costs. We consider our proposed research project innovative, with potential for significant contribution to the scientific field as well as high commercial potential. The project will investigate and create new technologies to support emergency response planning and operation. To support crisis management teams, we will investigate multi-surface technology, analytics and wearable computing approaches. To enhance the handling of future emergencies, we will develop technology for a-posteriori analysis of data gathered during an emergency and feed the lessons learned into training exercises. From a global perspective, this project will strengthen Canada's ICT industry, and will enhance C4i's access to international markets by providing the base for leading edge products, that are both translatable and re-usable across various platforms and cultures.
