Incident Resource Management via Path Scenario Assignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing incident resource management systems face challenges in efficiently coordinating and dispatching appropriate resources to incidents based on the type, location, and time sensitivity of events, often resulting in delayed responses due to inadequate resource allocation and communication.
Innovation Solution
A system that utilizes a communications network to acquire incident information, identify suitable mobile resources based on their capabilities and location, and assign them to incidents through generic path scenarios, ensuring timely and effective resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If manual resource identification and assignment methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but response time increases and resource allocation efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-identifies and pre-routes mobile resources to incidents before formal assignment occurs. Processing logic automatically determines generic path scenarios and prepares resource routing in advance, reducing the time from incident detection to resource deployment without requiring complex manual coordination procedures
Solution Approach 2:
Mobile resources autonomously receive and execute routing instructions from the system. The processing logic automatically assigns resources based on incident type and resource capability matching, eliminating the need for manual dispatcher intervention and reducing response time while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated decision rules
2Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive resource capability matching is implemented, then resource allocation accuracy improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system matches mobile resources to incidents based on specific capability requirements for each incident type. Processing logic evaluates resource capabilities against incident-specific criteria, ensuring accurate allocation without requiring comprehensive analysis of all possible resource attributes for every scenario
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts resource assignment criteria based on incident characteristics. Processing logic modifies matching parameters according to incident type, location, and resource availability, achieving high allocation accuracy through adaptive parameter adjustment rather than fixed complex rules
3Reliability
If multiple mobile resources are identified and evaluated, then resource selection quality improves, but identification time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-identifies multiple candidate mobile resources and their generic path scenarios before final assignment. Processing logic evaluates multiple resources simultaneously based on capability matching and routing efficiency, preparing selection options in advance to ensure quality without extending identification time
Solution Approach 2:
The system identifies and evaluates a limited set of candidate resources that meet minimum capability thresholds for each incident type. Processing logic performs sufficient evaluation of multiple candidates to ensure quality selection without exhaustively analyzing all possible resources, achieving reliable assignment within acceptable time constraints
4Productivity
If automated message sending and assignment notification is implemented, then communication efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically sends assignment notifications and routing instructions to mobile resources without manual intervention. Processing logic generates and transmits communications based on assignment decisions, improving communication efficiency through automation while maintaining simple operational procedures for users

AI summary
In an embodiment, a system may comprise a communications network and processing logic. The processing logic may acquire information regarding an incident, identify a first mobile resource (MR) that may respond to the incident based on a type of the incident and a capability associated with the first MR. The processing logic may further identify a generic path scenario to the incident based on a location of the MR and a location of the incident. The processing logic may identify that the first MR is preferred over a second MR with respect to responding to the incident and assign the first MR to the incident. The processing logic may send a message via the communications network to the first MR to notify the first MR that it has been assigned to the incident.
