| Summary: | Predictive Traffic Response Emergency Information System (PTREIS) was developed based on proven mathematical models. Unlike many traditional systems, PTREIS contains an intelligent spatial mechanism and attributes for building a database. On one hand, the spatial mechanism searches for the nearest accessible route to the accident location. On the other hand, the contents of the database can be used for three purposes: (1) building statistical data based on which parameters of PTREIS mathematical models can be improved, (2) defining the most probable dangerous traffic locations and reporting them to planners, engineers, and authorities to make further analysis and to take actions towards correcting the causes of accidents at theses spatial sites, and (3) defining the shortest path to an accident location based on newly introduced advance models, concepts, and mechanisms. The system was tested using a central urban area of Riyadh City, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The model was applied to three primary categories of emergency centers: hospitals, fire stations, and police stations.
