Advanced Assistance Services Using Hybrid Ambulance (AASHA) System

According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018, 1.35 million people die each year due to road accidents globally. Post-Accident care plays a very crucial role in reducing fatalities. In a country like India, it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide post-accident services on time with an increase in congestion. In this paper, we propose a system which decreases the post-accident response time of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in India by adding another layer of the patient transport vehicle. The paper discusses a new system design with simulation model and algorithm. Further, when compared with the traditional system, it provides an overall time reduction of approximately 3 minutes with a 97% survival rate.
