Led by the Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department (CCSDFD), 911-GO is a program focused on smart community risk reduction. Safety and security are enhanced by leveraging SMART infrastructure, digital assets, and artificial intelligence enabled technological solutions to deliver public awareness, mixed-reality training for firefighters and augmented cyber-physical enabled emergency response mitigation; to protect responders and save civilian lives.
CCSDFD is collaborating with world leaders building Next Generation solutions to provide community risk reduction with SMART systems. Using the same 360-degree 3D scenes designed for virtual reality gaming applications, we provide awareness and education for civilians, training for first responders and are prototyping augmented reality solutions to aid responders and those they serve; for use in fires, earthquakes, floods and other life-threatening incidents. Responders need 3D data of open sourced spaces, digital terrain maps and building information modeling (BIM). Multi-sensor fusion will be incorporated to provide artificial intelligence regarding current hazard locations (flood, smoke, fire, active shooter). When those in need choose to enable transmission of their health monitors biotelemetry it will allow rescuers to find, extricate and treat patients faster and more efficiently. The developing solution will use edge computing to capture helmet-mounted remote sensed data from structured light and infrared sensors to provide VR, AR, computer vision, holographic displays to equip incident commanders and citizens will escape harm through the 911Go application on their personal phones.
WHO nations estimate over 180 000 deaths occur each year, from fires alone.
Team 911-Go aims to change that statistic through SMART firefighting. First responders need every advantage during fleeting life critical moments, and SMART cyber-physical systems will provide critical information for time sensitive events.
In an effort to save lives and reduce injuries of civilian and first responders, the 911-GO Team has developed trial sets of 3D point clouds and simultaneous 360⁰ imagery of diverse, in-door building structures including, fire stations, training centers and mechanic shops. The BIM data is being annotated to enable research and development related to indoor localization and navigation. 3D Lidar equipment with 360⁰ panoramic cameras capture simultaneous, timestamped images for point cloud and image integration with true scale colorized digital models.
CCSDFD has established itself as a global leader in Cyber-Physical Next Generation SMART First Responder technology and through partnerships via Venture Smarter, expects to save lives now and many more in the future through 911GO. With more than 50 teams of team building 911-GO, many aspects of system are made possible by SMART city/infrastructure designers, critical communication providers, robotic technologists, UAS providers, innovative academics, virtual and augmented reality teams, remote sensing specialist, hardened device distributors, computer vision experts, leadership and change agents, signaling and computational fluid dynamic scientists; the 911GO team is prepared to build the measuring stick for the safe, secure and SMART region.
