5.1: Provide Emergency Service Allocation

This page shows the collection of processes that make up the Provide Emergency Services Allocation facility within the Manage Emergency Services function. These processes receive reported incident data and initiate the appropriate response. They also detect and verify emergencies and threats and provide traveler and remote area security. Facilities are provided to identify the type of emergency dependent on source. A response plan is determined from allocation criteria and sent to the vehicle dispatch function. An emergency services status reporting facility is provided for other ITS functions. Emergencies and threats are detected and verified from video/audio surveillance and from sensors in the roadway, in the transportation infrastructure, or on a transit vehicle.
