AirSage Partners With Dewberry for Next-Generation Emergency Management Solutions
ATLANTA , Dec. 15 - Intelligent Transportation Society of
America member AirSage, Inc.
and Dewberry have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to
collaborate on a new generation of products and services for the
Emergency Management (EM) community including federal, state, local
and private entities.
The companies will integrate population location and movement
information from the AirSage WiSE platform into new and existing
applications for emergency planning, preparedness, and response.
The AirSage WiSE platform aggregates and analyzes wireless
signaling data from mobile phones to securely and privately monitor
the location and movement of populations in real-time, while
maintaining complete user anonymity and privacy.
"Dewberry has consistently championed the use of technology to
help agencies at the federal and state levels improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of emergency management services" said
Vice President Allen Groover. "AirSage data provides detailed
insight about where people are and how they are moving, and this
opens up game-changing, and potentially life-saving advances in
emergency planning and response. We are looking forward to working
with our clients to put these new ideas into practice."
For example, AirSage data can provide an hour-by-hour view of
typical population location, density, and traffic flow throughout a
geographic area as key inputs to an evacuation planning model. In
the days leading up to an expected emergency situation (for
example, due to a weather event), the model can be updated via a
live AirSage data feed for that region. Should an evacuation be
required, AirSage's real-time location and traffic data can be used
to monitor compliance and highlight bottlenecks or trouble
spots.
Atlanta-based Contingency Management Group will also
participate in development of this technology and will assist with
coordinating field trials for the new applications. The companies
expect the first wave of EM applications using AirSage data to be
deployed in field trials during the spring of 2010.
