Optimal Resource Configuration

Spatial models and simulation techniques can be applied to help with:

• The optimal location of stations in order to minimise response times
• The deployment of appliances to stations or other locations in order to optimally match the response requirements to incidents.
• Scenario planning.  The testing of different configurations with a simulation in order to measure the effectiveness in reaching incidents.

Demand Modelling

Understanding the spatial pattern of fires, road accidents and other types of incident requiring an emergency response is key to being able to place resources where they will be most effective.
