Abstract:
A method for generating an automated response to an emergency, comprising the steps of:receiving a plurality of first inputs relevant to one or more emergency conditions; storing combinations of one or more of the first inputs and states of the first inputs in an incident matrix and associating each of the combinations of the first inputs with one of the emergency conditions; analyzing the combinations of the first inputs to generate a matrix of emergency response options for each of the combinations of the first inputs; selecting an emergency response from the matrix of emergency response options to minimize human casualties for each of the combinations of the first inputs; arranging the selected emergency response associated with each of the combinations of the first inputs in a response matrix; receiving one or more second inputs relevant to threat conditions; checking the one or more second inputs against the selected emergency responses to the combinations of the first inputs for a false alarm; and identifying from the incident matrix one of the emergency conditions corresponding to a combination of the second inputs.
