Advanced Mobile Location is a rapidly expanding technology designed to support the provision of accurate and reliable mobile caller location information to the emergency services. In this session attendees joined us to hear the latest updates from those who are participating in the initiative in Europe.
Bjorn Skoglund from SOS Alarm presented the results of testing Advanced Mobile Location (AML) technology in Sweden to provide emergency responders with callers' locations when contacting 112 from mobile phones. Over a series of tests from January to March 2016 involving 85 calls in various environments:
- 57 calls provided very accurate locations within 65 meters, with AML text messages arriving within seconds.
- Outdoor calls achieved the highest accuracy, with 42 of 43 calls located within 65 meters. Indoor calls had varying accuracy depending on building materials.
- Underground and shopping mall calls often did not provide a location, but when they did the accuracy was useful, within 1164 meters on average for underground calls and
This document discusses emergency call centers in Estonia. It shows maps of call centers located across Estonia and statistics on emergency call response rates. Over 90% of emergency calls in 2015 were answered quickly and call takers demonstrated professional communication skills and efficiently understood the situation. The document promotes the shared ICT network and systems used across Estonia's emergency call centers.
This document provides an update on the deployment of Advanced Mobile Location (AML) in Europe. It discusses where AML has been tested or deployed, how to find information on deployments, AML requirements published by EENA, and recommendations for further deployment. It also notes that AML is a form of "jugaad" or frugal innovation that delivers good-enough solutions to locate callers to emergency services with limited resources.
Telia Eesti is a telecommunications company in Estonia that introduced Advanced Mobile Location (AML) and Thunderbird functionality to help locate callers during emergencies. The company worked with the Estonian Emergency Response Centre and other mobile operators starting in 2015. AML was rolled out for Sony devices in 2016 and Thunderbird will be available for Android phones in the summer of 2016. Telia Eesti ensured SMS messages to emergency services were transmitted correctly and were free for customers as required by law.
Emergency calls from mobile phones can be difficult to locate, sometimes taking 30 seconds longer to answer or up to 3 minutes of additional questioning to determine a caller's location. Advanced Mobile Location (AML) aims to improve emergency response times by using a caller's smartphone GPS and WiFi capabilities to automatically send a zero-rated SMS with their location to emergency services within 20 seconds of an emergency call being placed. This supplements existing mobile network location data and has been shown to provide locations accurate to within 50 meters for 85% of calls, arriving within 30 seconds for 90% of calls. AML is deployed without any need for users to install an app, functioning invisibly during emergency calls from supported smartphones on participating mobile networks.
Take a look at the results of the interactive session of the EENA Conference 2016! What did participants reply to the poll? Find out with this short file
1) Google's Android OS update will accelerate deployment of Advanced Mobile Location (AML) in the UK by allowing each mobile network and handset provider to utilize Google's AML functionality rather than maintaining their own.
2) Testing of Google's "Thunderbird" AML system at UK emergency call centers showed it could provide caller locations within 20 seconds for 100s of test calls across various locations using SMS.
3) A gradual rollout of Thunderbird was started in June 2016 across UK mobile networks, initially enabling location for a small percentage of calls. Initial results showed most locations were accurate to within 50 meters.
The Universal Service Directive requires mobile phone operators to provide caller location information to emergency services for incoming calls. While some countries provide location within seconds, others take over 10 minutes. Most countries only provide cell tower or sector location accuracy, which is not accurate enough. The Commission may adopt technical measures to improve access to emergency services across EU states, but organization of emergency services remains with member states. A 2015 report found no significant evolution and that emergency apps providing location directly are not widely used yet. Better short term solutions are still needed to ensure accurate and fast location data for emergency services.
This document discusses 3GPP's work on mission critical applications. It provides an overview of 3GPP's organizational structure and process for developing specifications. It summarizes the progress made on MCPTT (mission critical push-to-talk) with the completion of stage 3 in Release 13. It also outlines the ongoing work in Release 14 on MCData (mission critical data), MCVideo (mission critical video), and MCCore (common mission critical requirements). The timelines for Release 13, 14, 15 and beyond are presented.
The use of RPAS by the emergency services is growing and their impact is significant. In this session attendees heard examples of how RPAS have been implemented in Europe, their impact and how the identified challenges are being met.
Ed Parsons discusses ambient geospatial technology and how smartphones have become maps with their location services and ability to access maps and geospatial data. He notes that over 1 billion smartphones have been sold, carrying 6 billion devices and 30 exabytes of storage that make over 10,000 map edits per day across 230 countries. By 2020, it is estimated that there will be 25 billion devices connected to the internet, showing how computer technology is disappearing into everyday life through mobile devices.
The media plays an important part in the toolkit for any PSAP Director and they can often play a crucial supportive role. However, managing the media is a challenge and in this session attendees heard some novel approaches to dealing with the media.
Providing warnings and alerts to citizens before an impending disaster in a timely manner is a key objective that is shared by many stakeholders. In this session experts in the area provided an update on the very latest technology and practices that are being used all over the world.
During public events our emergency services often need to establish a temporary mobile control room to support the field activities. In this session attendees heard about practical examples and experiences of mobile PSAPs and control room deployments.
Organisations all over the world are constantly struggling to manage their most valuable asset: their staff. There are constant challenges in getting positive results and in this session attendees heard how some organisations have succeeded, what their experiences were and how often small changes can have the most impact.
Providing warnings and alerts to citizens before an impending disaster in a timely manner is a key objective that is shared by many stakeholders. In this session experts in the area provided an update on the very latest technology and practices that are being used all over the world.

9. SITUATION
SEARCH AND RESCUE
MISSION
IMPACT
Donegal Mountain Search and Rescue in Ireland have struggled to
find people in need within an acceptable time. Before using UAVs, it
took 120 minutes for a five-man team to find a casualty in a 1 km2
area.
A special S&R app was developed which enables the drone
operator to share images and GPS location of objects found with
the search team, emergency services and coast guard helicopter.
The app allows delivery of 1 kg of medical supplies/radio
equipment from drone to casualty and enables “beacon mode”.
Finding a casualty with a DJI Phantom 3 together with the S&R app
took 20 minutes which cut down the search time by 80 percent,
while adding additional benefits such as delivery of mission-critical
equipment.
10. A large blaze in a stone quarry caused a serious
risk as it was burning in close proximity to over
hundreds of pounds of explosives. The local Fire
Department Chief didn’t want to risk the lives of a
rescue team and was therefore hesitant to send a
crew.
