Real-time GIS and situational awareness give organisations the ability to simultaneously integrate, analyse and display streaming data from applications, devices, and weather and senor data. It provides location-based analytics that automatically refine and focus real-time data to accomplish the operational outcomes with up-to-the-minute intelligence on what's happening in the field, and across jurisdictions.
Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) is utilising real-time GIS via an ESRI ArcGIS Enterprise System. This system is integrated with DMR, cellular and satellite location services as well as operational data from SLSNZ's operational applications, aeronautical and maritime traffic. This case study will focus on what SLSNZ has been able to achieve in delivering a situational awareness and incident management platform for improving operational effectiveness.
