Abstract:
1. In a computer system including a plurality of computer-aided dispatch systems that are each connected to a central hub, a method, performed by the central hub, for mapping data from one computer-aided dispatch system to another computer-aided dispatch system to enable disparate computer-aided dispatch systems to intercommunicate information regarding dispatch data in an emergency situation, the method comprising: receiving, from a first computer-aided dispatch system, dispatch data for monitoring an emergency situation, the dispatch data including information in a first format that is used by the first computer-aided dispatch system; determining that the dispatch data is to be forwarded to a second computer-aided dispatch system to inform personnel monitoring the second computer-aided dispatch system of the emergency situation; accessing a database that defines mappings between information in the first format and information in a second format that is used by the second computer-aided dispatch system; based on the information in the dispatch data, selecting one or more mappings from the database that are to be applied to the information in the dispatch data to map the information into the second format; applying the selected mappings to the information in the dispatch data to map the information into the second format; and sending the dispatch data with the information in the second format to the second computer-aided dispatch system.
