Mikael Johansson, Landskrona Fire and Rescue Service
Lindköping University
Background
Operations management in rescue operations is one of the most important factors in achieving set goals and results in rescue operations which are carried out by the Fire and Rescue Service.
In order for the Fire and Rescue Service to be able to carry out rescue operations in a quick, safe and efficient way, operations management in the Swedish Fire and Rescue Service needs to have the ability to meet all the complexities of our society.
To lead rescue operations requires the ability to make quick and well-founded decisions.
Aims and Research Questions
The aim of my research is to create better conditions in which to make rescue operation related decisions. Better decisions can be made with help from different types of decision making support. With better decision making support we can make quicker and better decisions on the scene of an accident. I want to investigate the possibilities of using Artificial Intelligence as decision making support.
Examples of research questions:
- Is there a need for AI as decision making support?
- In which area is AI required as decision making support?
- What does decision making support look like and how can it be used by the Swedish Fire and Rescue Service?
