Purpose and goal
The proposed goals have all been achieved, including: An intelligent device for pre-hospital screening (WP1). A robust EV routing model considering hospital selection and traffic controls (WP 2) An EVAM V2V communication device (WP 3 and 4) A robust pre-clearing strategy and algorithm to prioritize EVs based on V2X and simulation validation (WP 3) A traffic local coordination model and algorithm to increase traffic safety and efficiency at accident sites (WP 4) A virtual reality (VR) Traffic Simulator for method validation (WP 5). A holistic solution and demonstration (WP 5)
Expected results and effects
Outcomes advance the practice of emergency management through better coordination among stakeholders, including: Realizing intelligent pre-hospital evaluation to improve treatment efficiency and select appropriate hospitals Improving the response time of EVs to the accident site and to the right hospital by robust routing, intelligent infrastructure adaptation and traffic control to prioritize EVs under V2X A communication device for intelligent traffic management A VR simulator for method testing and demonstration A holistic emergency management framework and solution
Planned approach and implementation
Outcomes have been published in four top-tier journals. A pre-hospital screening device was developed and commercialized. A V2V communication device is developed and 160 units have been successfully produced. The project has organized four large workshops with the participation of most partners and relevant stakeholders to disseminate the research outcomes for potential utilization and further collaborations. The team has attended four international conferences for dissemination. Holistic solutions have been tested in simulation and a field test is being prepared.
