Police creates software to improve distribution of vehicles in … – Globo.com

This software is being developed to improve the distribution of vehicles of the Military Police in the city of João Pessoa. The project is developed by Lieutenant Colonel Valtânia Ferreira, who is also a master in Production Engineering from the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). According to police, the goal of the system is to help the Center for Integrated Police Operations (Ciop) to set strategic locations to place vehicles in order to meet an occurrence in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, Valtânia explains that the optimal placement of vehicles may inhibit or reduce crimes in strategic locations and serve the people in the shortest time possible in emergency situations. The prototype system developed by Lieutenant Colonel was presented at the conclusion of the police of the master at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and also in some events. She will donate the system to the military police of Paraíba.

When in operation, Valtânia ensures that your project will help the police solve Ciop situations encountered in routine work. “The software will be of great help to the following question: Where should I position four cars to meet a certain community maximum time to 10 minutes.”, Explained

Now the program goes through a process improvement, which is being conducted by a team of professionals coordinated by Professor Lucidio Cabral, UFPB, the police supervisor during the Masters. Then Ciop the police will be trained to use it. There is still no deadline for the start of use.

The police explained that the proposed system is a computational tool with WebGI technology. This tool allows users to query spatial information, geo-referenced and tabular of a particular place, interactively. The software will be used data of incidents recorded by Ciop, taking as input parameters the number of available vehicles and maximum service time.

The desire to contribute to the improvement of radiopatrulhamento service is something the lieutenant colonel says bring with them a few years ago. “In 1995, I developed the first computer system designed for the registration of emergency situations, shipping and tracking of vehicles to the outcome of the incident, but only in 2012 a prototype began to be developed,” he said.
