Recently, the problem of emergency service being an important headline in Hong Kong. Most people are worrying about the shortage of ambulance. Since TIME is the key point when people is waiting for rescue, how to shorten the time become the main study. Based on that reason, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department (HKFSD) has generated a new information system, that is the Third Generation Mobilizing System (TGMS).
This system includes some sub-systems such as the Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS can provide the map information in order to find a shortest route from the emergency car to the rescue point. It is important so that the driver can determine the real situation and solve it immediately. Because the HKFSD has promised that the longest time for a fire truck to the rescue point only can be 6mins, as a result, they need to fight with the time. On the whole picture, this information system is very efficiency and effective.
On my own, I think the most interested part is the Green Wave System. Green Way system is a sub-system that when the GIS has calculated the shortest route, then it will send the information to the Hong Kong Transport Department. As a result, all the traffic light on the route will become green before the fire truck or ambulance pass through it. Although the emergence have the right to pass through red light, but it is very dangerous. So that this Green Wave System can provide a more safety and faster way for the emergency car.
On the others hands, although this new system can improve the service quality, but it can not to solve the main problem, that is the shortage of ambulance. In Hong Kong, the call of ambulance is a very large number, but the number of ambulance car is not enough to serve those people. In the others word, that is the resources of the HKFSD is very little. However, the Hong Kong Government still don't take it serious. So, even the information system is on the top level in the world, if there are not other part to support it, it is still useless.
