What it does

Every afternoon: road incidents across your city and the hospitals within 3 km of each, grouped by xMap AI into three to five staging points for the evening, sent to dispatch.

In one sentence: Every day at 16:00, in Amsterdam, find other incidents and road closures, count the hospitals and emergency rooms within 2 km of each, write a report with xMap AI, then send message to a channel in Slack and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Ambulances parked near where incidents happen reach patients faster. Dispatch gets a plan before the evening peak.

The time it saves

Every day at 16:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
