Introduction for this project:. The main idea for this project is to develop an ambulance fleet management that help to organize the ambulance Management unit and monitoring the ambulance location in real-time tracking by the GPS system. The important part of this research is building a smartphone application which can perform the data recording for both parties, the caller, and the ambulance management respectively, and to detect the real time location The GPS unit used in this research will be the one that is implemented originally inside the smartphone user and a GPS module integrated with a nodemcu ESP8266 microcontroller installed in the ambulance unit. An API key from the google maps is required in this interfacing process perform in the android studio and flutter as the medium of application builder and will store in the firebase as the cloud. The implementation of iot telematics in this project can help the fleet operators to automate the ambulance tour planning to the emergency sites since the ambulance response time has a significant effect on the survival rate intuitively..

Problem statement arise in this project:. Referring to the current ambulance management system practice in M alaysia, which is managed by the operator takes a lot of energy and times especially when the request volume is high at one time, and it requires more hands to handle the requests. Basically, the operator’s roles are to receive the call from user or patient, gather their information and location details, and record all the informations manually before allocate the nearest ambulance unit to serve the emergency case. Hence, aim for this project is to replace all the current works done by the operators to one systematic system. It can automatically gather and recorded all the informations from the caller, and all the data related such as the ambulance driver information, estimation time ambulance arrive at site and also estimation time arrival at emergency center. All these information gathered and stored in cloud in real-time basis and can reach for both parties especially the medical assistant at the emergency center to prepare all the necessary preparation to receive the patient..

Novelty and uniqueness. Iot -based EMS fleet management has uniqueness especially in terms of the implementation of IoT telematics in this project can help the fleet operators to automate the ambulance tour planning to the emergency sites since the ambulance response time has a significant effect on the survival rate intuitively..

Potential commercialization. This fleet management idea for emergency ambulance tracking system proposed in this project in order to replace the old-fashioned method on handling the ambulance service request. With the integration of that mobile application and GPS module that placed in the ambulance unit to the cloud database, it looks well-organized and more efficient in data storing management to serve a better emergency service in the future. The deployment of iot for EMS fleet management also can help boost efficiency, visibility, and manageability, while helping lower costs to the management..
