Description:
DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INTEGRATED AND ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT RAPID EMERGENCY COMMUTE FIELD OF INVENTION:

[001] The present invention relates to the field of emergency transportation systems and 5 more specifically it relates to the transformation of any automotive into an advanced artificially intelligent system to commute through any traffic scenarios integrated with a cloud server based artificially intelligent application algorithm.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:

[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding 10 the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[003] With the increase in pace of growth in science and technology over the past two decades and its directly impacted lifestyle of mankind, it has even become 15 inevitable for pets at home to lead a busy life in coherence to its caretaker. It is almost at the same pace a technology becomes obsolete as it emerges and in such a situation it has become evident and obvious that the number of associated health issues, accidents etc., has rapidly increased and the need for timely arrival of patients at hospitals has also increased. With all the changes happening faster, 20 health care systems also hold no other options other than to increase their rate of handling the patients right from the doorsteps of houses, until and even after stepping them back into their houses safe and sound.

[004] Though there are many advanced systems implemented in many advanced countries with sparse population such as heli-lift, drone based medicine delivery networks 25 etc., in countries with highly congested populations such as India, China etc., as well as in countries with lesser economic sustainability, the most opted mode of transit for patients or any emergency purposes is by road through ambulances and in the recent times, the number of ambulances / emergency vehicles plying per hour has increased exponentially. With the existing system of seeking an ambulance 30 through an emergency phone call or a mobile application at any given point of time, it takes a minimum time of 15-30 minutes for an ambulance to reach at any defined spot, may it be an accident location / a house premise, as if for an emergency caller. The major problems in cities being the traffic, in smaller towns being dispositioned GPS locations and in mral areas being GPS unidentifiable coordinate locations; wherein the ambulances / emergency travel vehicles travel from one source point 5 to the location of distress in order to port the patient to a nearby hospital; and the overall time taken sometimes create critical emergencies to patients who require immediate medical attention.

[005] Thus there is a need for a system which shall improve overall process of emergency commutes in all situations and locations irrespective of time and distance that works 10 intelligently, securely, efficiently and economically.

[006] A number of different types of the systems used in emergency vehicle commute systems are available in prior arts. Prior art document US20030043056A1 discloses a method for an emergency vehicle alert system for transmitting signals from one or more emergency vehicles to a nearby commuter vehicle includes activating an 15 initiation switch in one or more of the emergency vehicles. A transmitter located in each of the emergency vehicles, transmits a uniquely individual signal stamp of a predefined frequency and a GPS signal. Each emergency vehicle can be identified by the uniquely individual signal stamp. Other emergency vehicles and commuter vehicles in the area with the appropriate receiver can detect the transmitted signal 20 stamp.

[007] Another prior art US4775865A discloses a system for providing early warning of the approach and egress of emergency vehicles in which the warning system provides a display to indicate the direction from which the emergency vehicle is approaching and in addition provides preemption control of the traffic signals at an 25 intersection. A transmitter mounted on an emergency vehicle transmits a signal whenever it is on an emergency call which is received by infrared (I.R.) receivers positioned at an intersection to respond to the transmitted signals. The received signal is then processed by a master controller which in turn pre-empts operation of traffic signals to control traffic flow at the intersection to which the emergency 30 vehicle is approaching. The master controller also provides an output to display signs facing approaching traffic on each road approaching the intersection which displays messages and symbols indicating the direction of the approaching emergency vehicle. Additionally, the display system indicates whether the emergency vehicle has passed through and is departing the intersection. After a predetermined interval when an emergency vehicle has passed through an

5 intersection the display system is deactivated and the traffic signals are returned to the traffic light control system.

[008] Yet another prior art US9659494B2 discloses Technologies for reporting and predicting emergency vehicle routes that include a cloud server to receive emergency vehicle route data from an emergency vehicle, the emergency vehicle

10 route data indicating a travel route of the emergency vehicle. The cloud server determines a scope of disclosure of the travel route to other vehicles based on the emergency vehicle route data and which other vehicles different from the emergency vehicle to which to convey the travel route of the emergency vehicle. The cloud server transmits a portion of the travel route of the emergency vehicle to

15 the other vehicles based on the scope of disclosure.

[009] Yet another prior art CN107358811A discloses a kind of ambulance route planning method, mobile terminal and computer-readable recording medium which includes detecting that when an ambulance is in driving condition, the current vehicle location acquisition mobile terminal module of the ambulance obtains the traffic

20 information of the positive track route based on the vehicle location; when the road conditions for detecting positive track route are in congested status, the traffic information system actuates the reverse track route acquisition for mobile terminal, when the road conditions for detecting reverse track route are in unimpeded state, mobile terminal exports reverse track route so as to shorten ambulance travel time.

[0010J5 Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

The MEWS device 105 captures the health condition of the patient who requires emergency medical care and the central control system 107 is capable of ascertaining the level of criticality of the person at 20 any point of time.

[0053] FIG. 2, illustrates an exemplary schematic diagram representation of the proposed system for activation and deactivation of the siren and the system for the vehicle upon emergency. As shown, the sub system 200 for activation and deactivation of the siren and the system 100 is switches ON as soon as the driver of the vehicle 106 25 triggers the emergency call switch 101, the emergency depicting light arrangement 103 as a visual alert for other vehicles on road. The remote activation trigger 201 of the central control system will be alerted with immediate effect. The personnel at the remote activation trigger 201 shall access and verify the data from the camera 102 and MEWS device 105 and upon verification of the information 202 and if the 30 information so transmitted proves to be reliable and critical in the hands of the remote activation trigger personnel 201, the siren of the vehicle 106 along with GPS and GIS systems 204 of the device will be activated with due notification to the police and traffic control rooms.

[0054] In one embodiment, the real-time GPS location of the vehicle and the GIS infor ation 205 shall be tracked in-order to ensure that the vehicle and the system

5 is not misused or used for illegal purposes. The siren system 204 of the vehicle and the system 100 shall be deactivated as soon as the vehicle reaches the GIS location 206 or post verification of the personnel at the hospital for authentication, as the case may be.

[0055] In one embodiment, if the MEWS and in-vehicle camera data 202 so received by

10 the control center 201 finds to be difficult in analyzing or doubtful in nature, the emergency lighting system 103, the visual alert of the vehicle alone shall be activated and the information shall be passed to the nearest traffic signal or police personnel or highway patrol vehicle for live verification 203 of the vehicle. The police personnel shall be equipped with a wireless transmitting or receiving device

15 which shall trigger the system 100 through the wireless receiving or transmitting arrangement 104 available in the vehicle after successful verification.

[0056] FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of the system for making decisions upon assigning a halfway ambulance for the vehicle 106 on emergency. As shown, the emergency halfway ambulance allotment system 300 gains access to the vehicle

20 database 301 of the cloud server in order to collect the vehicle no. (engine / chassis / Regn. no.), real-time device ID, GPS ID, GPS location, driver’s license information - smart card & passcode, MEWS data etc., and passes the information to the central control system personnel 302 assigned for the purpose. The personnel analyzes the requirement 303 for allotment of a halfway ambulance nature of

25 emergency, level of criticality from the data so received from the MEWS device 106, data from the in-vehicle camera 102, and the GIS location of the hospital to which the vehicle 106 drives through.

[0057] If the personnel finds the situation to be critical from the data so received from the MEWS device 106 and the camera 102, a halfway ambulance 304 shall be assigned

30 and the mutual locations of both the vehicles 306 shall be transmitted to each other in order to enable each other drivers finding the other vehicle easily. [0058] In one embodiment, if the personnel finds the situation to be not critical, no halfway ambulance shall be allotted and the same vehicle 106 shall be carefully guided to the hospital in real-time.

[0059] FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of the artificial intelligence (AI) based

5 GPS and GIS module functions in routing the emergency vehicle upon different situations to an apt hospital. As shown, the AI based routing module 400 of the system gains access to the hospital database 401 of the cloud server upon receiving an emergency request from a vehicle 106.

[0060] In one embodiment, the central control system 302 in access to the hospital database

10 collects the category of the emergency in order to determine the seriousness which may be, but not limited to pregnancy, accident - head injury, bone related injuries, fire bums etc., heart arrest or cardiac related issues, respiratory issues etc.,. The control center automatically and intelligently analyzes the nature and level of criticality from the MEWS data collected along with the distance of the nearest

15 hospital that can be accessed at the earliest based on the GPS and GIS information 303 of the vehicle.

[0061] In one embodiment, if the system 302 finds the MEWS data to be critical the GPS of the system automatically routes the vehicle 106 to a nearest specialty hospital 402 as per the GIS information and the nature of emergency without providing an

20 opportunity for the driver to choose for their own options.

[0062] In another embodiment, if the system 302 finds the MEWS data to be not critical, an opportunity for the driver to choose between the list of available hospitals as per the reviews and the earliest reach from the GIS information and route the vehicle to a hospital out of their own choice 403 and assign the GPS accordingly. In both

25 the former and later conditions, the MEWS data and the emergency related information shall be passed to the concerned hospital 404 along with the live location, criticality etc.,

[0063] FIG 5 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of the artificial intelligence based automated traffic signal management system for the said emergency vehicles. As

30 shown, the AI based automated emergency vehicle traffic management system 500 is capable of prioritizing and automatically operating the traffic signals upon a plurality of such emergency vehicles 501, 502, 503, 504 approaching a junction with traffic signals on a plurality of directions.

[0064] In one embodiment, the AI based traffic management module of the cloud server 505 simultaneously analyzes the MEWS data of all emergency vehicles 5 approaching a junction at any point of time with top priority as shown in FIG. 6, the highest criticality will be given the top preference after considering the speed of the vehicle, the distance between the signal junction and the vehicle and the real time traffic intensity in any direction and assign the traffic signal 507 automatically based on the highest priority and the least priority conditions.
