Use of Airspace Control Data and GIS for assistance in road accidents - A case study

Air transport can solve road traffic congestion problems in emergency situations in order to quickly and efficiently assist accident victims through solutions from transport policy makers. This work presents a prototype as a use case, to determine the main points of accidents on the federal highways of Paraná, as well as the main air resources and health units for caring for serious victims. In particular, as a methodology, we used an exploratory data analysis in conjunction with the KNN-based algorithm to define the main strategic locations and regions to allocate air resources to attend to the occurrences in the best possible way, as well as define the available hospital and the flight plan to proceed to the destination. The study also presents the top ten locations with the highest number of accidents, along with the three priority regions, in order to optimize care.
