Tiivistelmä
The economic pressure decreases the budgets of the first responders (FR) which in turn increases the pressure for developing novel innovations to ensure adequate computational capabilities and resources in every operative scenario. FRs’ most important tool in the field is the emergency response vehicle (ERV). The Finnish approach to provide digital services to the field for FRs is via ERVs. This multiple case study analysis collects together the research data and results with respect to ERVs from seven public safety related ICT projects. It is vital that different safety authorities develop the common ERV concept together. This enables new mobile digital services for FRs to their field operations. For example, people being first at the scene of the accident should be able to communicate with FRs who should be able to receive social media and multimedia messages into their operative systems.
