Mobile Digital Services for Border Protection: Standardization of Emergency Response Vehicles
Jyri Rajamäki · 2013
Law enforcement authorities (LEA), such as border guards, suffer from intensive human involvement. Due to the economic situation, the main need of LEAs is to maintain their core services with significantly reduced budgets. According to our multi methodical development research, the only realizable solution is the better piggybacking of information and communications technology (ICT) and digital services. This also means in field operations and thus in emergency response vehicles (ERV), ICT applications and digital services play a more and more important role. This paper presents a new layered approach for standardizing the electrical, electronic and ICT devices of ERVs. Thus on the basis of this infrastructure, the mobile digital services needed for public safety responders could be supplied.
