Pioneering mapping technology has been launched by Hull-based APD Communications to optimise emergency services’ response to incidents and enable blue light teams to reach locations rapidly with pinpoint accuracy.
APD Maps is a cloud-based software platform which supports emergency services to deploy the right resources, to the right locations, at the right time.
Launched by APD Communications, it locates emergency responders, callers, vehicles, incidents, points of interest and even the nearest defibrillators anywhere at the touch of a button, providing enhanced visibility for both control room dispatchers and frontline teams.
It allows control room operators to identify locations using what3words, a system designed to identify any position within three square metres across the world using a unique combination of three words.
