Barcelona implements system from Intergraph
Barcelona is to deploy Intergraph’s emergency incident response , planning and reporting solution to deliver integrated incident management capabilities, it has been announced today.
The new computer aided dispatch system will replace Barcelona City Emergency Management Centre’s proprietary, legacy system, Mycelium. The Intergraph system will provide a variety of advanced capabilities including integrated emergency response, communication and coordination with emergency response and security agencies in other municipalities.
Intergraph’s technology will also provide an intelligent system of receiving emergency calls, mobile deployment of responders, and a graphical view of all elements essential for emergency response and management. Call takers can also utilise interactive, intelligent maps to immediately locate incidents and deploy the closest responders to the site through the 100.4 sq. km. (39 sq mile) municipality.
Joan Albert Dalmau, manager of Prevention, Security and Mobility Department of Barcelona City said, “By deploying Intergraph’s public safety software, our dispatchers and responders will be in a position to more effectively respond to incidents, helping to ensure the safety and security of those who live and work in our community.”
The system will be used by both firefighters and police and wil see Barcelona joining other European cities such as Berlin, Geneva, Zurich, and Vienna in the use of this safety solution.
