RAPID DESICION SUPPORT TOOL (DST)

We’ve created decision support software that allows us to provide real time recommendations for the best asset to use for each Aeromedical Tasking

With significant differences between the fuel consumption and operating costs of fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft, and road ambulances ; there is an enormous difference in carbon footprint and operating costs based on which asset is selected for any given mission. This is compounded when considered across the whole network, over a large period of time and it’s not difficult to see the potential environmental, and cost savings through enhanced efficiency.

To achieve its aim, Aeromedical Australia has developed software for use in the tasking process that considers the variables of:

  • Time

  • Cost

  • Emissions

    and weighs these factors against patient priority to generate a list of recommended assets for each mission.

Our software is bespoke, and is built around the specific needs of the client organisation. RAPID DST considers multiple inputs to accurately forecast mission timeframes. Variables included are:

  • Crew Assembly and Response timeframes

  • Location and Availability of Assets

  • Flight Planning for various aviation assets

  • Fuel stops

  • Traffic data for road legs

  • Weather Impact and Crew Fatigue limits.

With enormous variability in how the network functions at any given time based on the above factors, this software ensures that the correct asset is selected for each mission based on the most accurate data available, in an objective and measurable way.

Further, retrospective analysis of captured data enables Aeromedical Australia to develop recommendations to improve whole of network efficiency.

The aim of this is to ensure that the number and location of assets available in the long term are suited to the needs of the patient base and geography of an area.

It’s like having a Pilot plan the mission, and a Doctor assign cost/ benefit for each individual tasking.

RAPID Planner

—————

Rapid planner is a mission management and planning tool for use by aircrew. Pre-mission, It facilitates rapid and accurate weight and balance, and performance planning calculations to enable safer and faster mission execution.

It’s during mission capability also includes flight log management, dynamic risk assessments, multi-user handling, performance class calculations, helipad diagrams display, and tailored notice information for landing sites.

All data generated in Rapid planner is stored securely on a firebase server with modern privacy and security systems in place. The application architecture enables auditing and research, as well as integration with other applications all while being stored securely.
