Ambulance Dispatch System: Preliminary Project Plan

This document presents a preliminary project plan for developing an ambulance dispatch system. The system will have three main components: a dispatcher interface to enter incident details, an incident processing system, and an external database. It aims to dispatch the nearest available ambulance to an incident within 3 minutes. If no ambulance is available within 11 minutes, exception messages will be displayed. The deliverables include preliminary project plan, requirements elicitation, analysis and design, coding, testing. UML diagrams and Java will be used. The timeline outlines deliverables due by specific dates with the goal of completing the project by July 11th, 2007.

Phase 0
1. Introduction

1.1 Project overview


This is a project plan to be used for the implementation of the ambulance dispatch system. The
project includes creating an ambulance dispatch system whereby the information regarding an
emergency can be recorded, ambulances can be dispatched to the scene of an emergency within
a three-minute deadline, and ambulances can be tracked during their transit through the use of a
GPS system.

The system as a whole will have three main components. There will be a dispatcher interface, an
incident processing system, and an external database. The dispatcher interface will allow the
ambulance dispatcher to enter the information they receive from the caller about an incident
(address of the incident, number of injured people, etc) so that it can be processed by the incident
processing system. The incident processing system will interact with an external database that
holds the information about each incident as well as the current ambulance location data. The
system will check if each newly submitted form might be a duplicate and will bring this information
to the attention of the ambulance dispatcher. The system will locate a suitable ambulance and
mobilize it within three minutes. If no ambulance is available within an eleven-minute window the
incident processing system will raise an exception message on the dispatcher interface and the
location of the nearest three ambulances will be displayed.

1.5 Definitions, acronyms, and abbreviations


 Operator: A person that initially receives the phone call to 911 and directs calls
requiring an ambulance to the ambulance dispatcher.
 Dispatcher: A person that receives 911 phone calls requiring an ambulance and
enters the caller’s information in to the ambulance dispatcher program.

2. Project organization

2.1 Process model


Our design process will be based heavily on the creation of UML diagrams for the project. With
good UML diagrams, we will have a basis for the system, a basis for group programming, and a
graphical representation of the system for use in this document. We will be using Waterfall model
for our project development with few exchanges between intermediate phases.
2.2 Organizational structure
The members involved in developing this project are:
 Student 1 name and registration
 Student 2 name and registration
 ….

For the first deliverable Brandon Bass will be the Team Leader for the project.

2.3 Organizational boundaries and interfaces

2.4 Project responsibilities


All the team members will be involved in all phases of the project life cycle.

3. Managerial process

3.1 Management objectives and priorities


The main objective of the management position is to organize the meetings for discussions,
check the status of the project, and submit the project on time.

3.2 Assumptions, dependencies, and constraints

3.3 Risk management

3.4 Monitoring and controlling mechanisms

4. Technical process

4.1 Methods, tools, and techniques


Rational Rose tool will be used to do the UML modeling. The system will be implemented in Java.
The reason for this is two-fold: our programmers are more familiar with Java than other
languages and Java offers easy, effective interfaces will be very useful in this project. Our project
team is using [tool] for easy team member communication. All project documents will be posted
on our team website at project website

4.2 Software documentation

4.3 Project support functions

5. Work elements, schedule, and budget


This project is scheduled to be completed by July 11 th 2007 for the final demo. Here is the outline
of the timeline of the deliverables:
Deliverable 1 due by 22/03/2021
