The current live tracker application provides real-time traffic updates, but it does not account for road closures, accidents, or detours, which may cause delays. To enhance the system, we propose integrating an external API (e.g., Mapbox Traffic API or Waze API) to gather real-time data on such events. This will allow dynamic re-routing of ambulances to ensure faster arrival times.
Use Case
This feature would be beneficial in real-world scenarios where ambulances need to avoid unforeseen obstacles on their way to hospitals. By dynamically adjusting routes based on real-time traffic and road conditions, ambulances can save critical minutes in emergencies, improving patient outcomes and reducing delays
Benefits
Faster ambulance response by avoiding traffic delays.
Real-time re-routing for optimal travel paths.
More accurate ETAs for hospitals and drivers.
Enhanced safety by avoiding accident-prone areas.
Scalable for other emergency and logistics services.
