Given the surge in population and traffic in Madison, Wisconsin,
it is inevitable that departments will become less efficient in their emergency response.
Evaluating and optimizing the efficiency of Madison's emergency response was the main goal of our project.
In this project, the application "FirstRespond" utilizes JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and the MapBox API to build
navigation maps that facilitate quick navigation to critical services such as hospitals and police stations during emergencies.
It incorporates real-time traffic data to dynamically adjust travel routes and mitigate the impact of traffic congestion
on response times. In addition, I found by analyzing the emergency response efficiency using Python.
Traffic conditions have an 8% negative impact on emergency response efficiency.
This project represents a major technological advancement in addressing the challenges posed to emergency services
by urban growth and is designed to significantly reduce response times and enhance public safety in Madison.
