Description

1 TARIFF Telecommunications Network-Based Emergency Vehicle Route Estimation and Driver Alert Management The system Technical Area 5 The invention is intended for use in the field of improving traffic safety and emergency response speed. The developed system combines GPS data from the emergency vehicle positioning and mission system with existing telecommunications. By operating through its infrastructure, it delivers personalized alerts to drivers along the vehicle's route. It relates to a driver alert management system. State of the Art Nowadays, drivers should wait until they hear an ambulance or fire truck siren to determine the location and mission of an emergency vehicle. They are unaware of the existence of the system. This is especially true in noisy cabins or This poses a critical risk for hearing-impaired drivers. Current solutions require special vehicles. It requires hardware; it cannot be implemented in existing vehicle fleets. The V2X infrastructure is not yet 15 years old. It is not common and cannot be scaled up in the short term due to high installation costs. Emergency vehicle The vast majority of delays are caused by drivers who don't clear the road. Early warning is essential to prevent the situation. Current navigation apps provide emergency vehicle information. It cannot obtain its location in real time; it relies on user notifications or community-based data. It is limited. They also broadcast to alert the driver based on location; 20 They cannot select drivers on the calculated route. Current location-based push Notification systems work using a geofence logic; they track the emergency vehicle's moving route. It does not dynamically update the alert zone and estimated encounter time accordingly. It does not include the parameters. The problems mentioned and which cannot be solved in light of current technology are related to the relevant issues. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the technical field. 25 Purpose of the Invention The present invention aims to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages and introduce new technologies to the relevant technical field. To bring advantages, GPS data from the emergency vehicle positioning and mission system is available. By operating via telecommunications infrastructure, the vehicle provides personalized warnings to drivers along its route. 30 It relates to a driver warning management system. The main purpose of the invention is to combine GPS data from the emergency vehicle positioning and mission system with existing data. It operates via telecommunications infrastructure, providing personalized warnings to drivers along the vehicle's route. The goal is to provide a driver alert management system that transmits information. 35 2 Another purpose of the invention is to provide emergency vehicles with real-time location, speed, and direction information from nodes in the city road network. By applying a probabilistic decision process to the edge graph, it processes the transition for each road segment. By calculating the probabilities based on the vehicle's current speed and past route, not just a single route, but 90 The goal is to generate three possible route scenarios within a split second window. Another purpose of the invention is to determine the location of the driver devices, solely from the telecommunications base station. Matching by calculating anonymously using sector information and signal delay. The algorithm identifies the cell sectors located on the 3 possible routes generated above, and Creating a real-time driver cluster using signal delay values The aim is to provide; for each matching driver, the speed profile of the emergency vehicle at that moment and the driver's speed profile 10 By calculating the estimated encounter time, the warning message will be location-specific and will be "30 "Move over to the right in seconds" or "Emergency vehicle approaching from behind, clear left lane" The aim is to provide notifications with guiding statements; without requiring additional equipment. By operating through the existing smartphone and navigation ecosystem, it provides personalized alert delivery and The update service aims to provide an accessible solution for hearing-impaired and elderly drivers. to provide; corporate API and SLA management layer with telecommunications operator Ministry of Health and to establish a corporate service model with EGM; emergency vehicle passage violations The goal is to improve traffic safety statistics by contributing to its reduction.
