Smart Mobile-Based Emergency Management and Notification System

摘要

Mobile government is an innovative research area where efforts are made to advance governmental and public services. As such, in this paper, we propose a crisis management system for real-time emergency notification of users using mobile applications and smart watches. We develop an intuitive web portal using a client server architecture for governmental agencies to easily and efficiently notify users within the range of danger in the occurrence of a disaster through SMS or push notifications to the mobile application or the smart watch, if the latter is available. Moreover, real-time mapping for indoor localization systems are utilized for user navigation to the nearest exit with the added feature of floor plans for public locations that may be accessed offline for the convenience of the users. The system is also designed for instant emergency aid assistance in case of a medical personal difficulty through the use of the developed dedicated bilingual multi-platform mobile application.
