Deploying Mobile Applications for Emergency Flood Response in Geographically Isolated Areas: A Data-Driven Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Management Decision - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In geographically isolated regions, where infrastructure limitations and remote locations pose significant challenges, a mobile application has been developed to facilitate an efficient emergency response system. This system, designed to bridge the gap in emergency support, employs a multi-faceted strategy that combines human expertise with advanced machine learning (ML) technologies. Upon activation through the application, a coordinated mechanism is triggered, dispatching local mechanics equipped with the necessary tools, resources, vehicles, and spare parts to the site of the emergency. This immediate on-site assistance is essential for addressing mechanical failures and ensuring timely support for individuals in remote areas.At the heart of the application lies a sophisticated ML model, trained on an extensive dataset comprising a wide array of emergencies likely to occur in rural settings. This model, characterized by its convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture and optimized for mobile deployment through TensorFlow Lite (TFLite), demonstrates an impressive diagnostic accuracy rate of 98%. Such precision significantly enhances the application’s capacity to diagnose issues accurately, prioritize response efforts, and optimize resource allocation.Moreover, the application leverages data-driven insights not only to streamline the emergency response process but also to facilitate predictive maintenance. By continuously learning from incoming data, the ML model can predict potential problems and suggest preventative measures to users, thereby minimizing the likelihood of future breakdowns. This predictive capability underscores the application’s role in promoting resilience within rural communities.Community engagement is further encouraged through the inclusion of local mechanics in the emergency response network. This initiative not only expands the pool of available skilled professionals but also fosters a sense of community solidarity, crucial for enhancing the system’s overall effectiveness.In summary, the development of this mobile application represents a significant advancement in emergency assistance for rural communities. By integrating real-time response capabilities with sophisticated ML models, the system not only addresses the immediate challenges of emergency support in remote areas but also contributes to the creation of a more resilient and interconnected community fabric.
