I-Respond: Mobile Application for Emergency Response Using Dijkstra’s Algorithm Shortest Path

Emergency response is a crucial method for saving lives because the Philippines is one of the nation that is most vulnerable to disasters. Unexpected disasters happen all the time. The survival of those who were immediately impacted by a disaster depends on what happens in the initial hours after the accident. Even a minute difference in emergency response time has the potential to save or cost lives. Through this, the researchers were able to implement Dijkstra’s method to show the shortest paths in an application for emergency response. The ideas are organized in a way that suggests potential paths that first responders could take to locate victims. This article outlines a step-by-step process for choosing the optimum approach. Agile methodology was employed by the researchers when creating the application. The respondents gave the system a 4.52 out of 5 rating on the basis of the ISO 9126 evaluation tool, with a ‘Very Acceptable’ interpretation result. Thus, the system is now prepared for deployment.
