Disaster Management by Integration of Web Services with Geospatial Data Mining

Abstract

Any country has to focus on the social, economic hazards for development of the nation. In daily newspapers, we are having a look on the no. of news on road accidents due to increase in density of vehicles per roadways. The main aim of transportation is handling the mobility with safety provision. People focus on the travel time and speed. Accidents in the present era are recognized as an adverse factor and should be tackled as a disaster causing causing social, economic loss to the country worldwide. It has been estimated that over millions of persons die and half to this number are injured every single year in road accidents throughout the world. Most people are stressed out and overstrained after accidents even if no one is hurt. Consequently they may face difficulty to report the accident to the emergency personal like police and civil defence and sometimes may provide inaccurate information. So the injured person is not able to get the timely help and tardy response of relief work. Due to an inappropriate reporting of location of accidental spots, the emergency personal will get time to reach at the desired location. The disaster management system for accident, incorporate with GIS and spatial data mining, can identify the accidental spot and provide the optimal routes to reach to the desired location. Web services have used to show the routing path but this will not help to the need people who cannot reach to the facility by themselves. In our approach we will create a SMS alert system for government authorities so they can reach on the spot & also we prefer extraction of knowledge rules for further prediction and analysis of accidents by data mining. The system consists of two emergency personnel like police and ambulance facility supporting mobile environment. This can be access on any GPRS enabled mobile device. The same system can be accessed by common user as well as government authorities. The common man can access this in a user friendly GUI from current location for proper help on accidental spots and this will work as an SMS alert system for government authorities. The traffic officer can enter the details of accident & this provides a data repository for extraction of hidden rules. This will support for further analysis and decision making for traffic officers. This will be helpful for the authorities involved in transportation & roadways planning.
