The Critical Need for Modernized Emergency Infrastructure
Across Europe, there is growing recognition of the urgent need to modernize emergency response infrastructure to meet the demands of today’s mobile society. While multiple components are essential for an effective public safety ecosystem, accurate and reliable geospatial data stands as the fundamental foundation. Precise location intelligence, particularly correct address points and building information, is crucial for emergency services and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to respond to emergencies with maximum speed and efficiency.
At Nazru, we leverage advanced artificial intelligence to extract critical features from high-resolution imagery, creating high-definition vector maps that are transforming emergency response capabilities across Europe. Our solutions, including Building-Based Geocoding, meet the essential requirements of comprehensiveness, accuracy, and reliability for Next-Generation 112 (NG112) systems.
The Shift to Digital Emergency Response Systems
The transition to NG112 systems represents a fundamental evolution from legacy analog technologies to digital, Internet Protocol (IP)-based infrastructure. This transformation involves multiple interconnected systems and factors, including:
Advanced network capabilities
Modern call handling systems
Streamlined operational processes
Robust geographic information systems (GIS) featuring:
Despite the clear benefits, many European PSAPs face significant challenges in implementing these upgrades, primarily due to funding constraints and the complexity of maintaining accurate spatial data across multiple jurisdictions.
The Essential Foundation: Accurate, Comprehensive GIS Data
A reliable GIS database enables emergency responders and PSAP personnel to quickly identify dispatchable locations, significantly reducing response times and ultimately saving lives. The success of NG112 systems depends fundamentally on the availability of robust, well-maintained geospatial data.
For PSAPs and Emergency Communication Centers, an ideal GIS database must demonstrate:
Comprehensive Coverage: Complete data across all urban and rural areas with high positional accuracy
Precision: Accurate address data, building footprints, and attributes to ensure efficient emergency routing
Timeliness: Regular updates to reflect the constantly evolving built environment
Accessibility: Affordable solutions that enable all communities to benefit from modern emergency response capabilities
