"GeoComm has a national reputation as a leading provider of geographic information and communication systems. The company's systems route emergency calls to the appropriate call center, map the caller's location on a dispatcher's map, and guide emergency responders to the accident on mobile displays within police, fire and ambulance vehicles."
GeoComm has teamed up with the lab to roll out a new project involving NG911 and our college campus, St. Cloud State. They are creating a new software that locates students immediately on the campus using a new app, smart phones, and more effective data points. Down the road this technology could be adapted for other campuses. The ultimate goal is to strive for student safety. |
PHOTOSThe following photos are screenshots of the software developed by the lab thus far. This software is intended to locate students in distress on campus and then provides their coordinates (x, y, and z) to Public Safety for quicker assistance. There is an app being developed that works in conjunction with the program. It will even determine the building level.
