Abstract:
The impact of timely response to road emergencies cannot be overemphasized. Responding quickly to road emergencies makes it possible for emergency responders to save lives and properties. It is believed that one-minute improvement in response time can result in six percent (6%) increase in the lives saved. Emergency responders depend on the road networks that other road users also depend upon for their day-to-day activities. All stakeholders (emergency responders inclusive) must therefore, cooperatively and collaboratively use the road networks to, particularly, allow responders have priority access on the roads. This article thus, suggests the use of a mobile application to include the various stakeholders in emergency response operation cycle, ranging from reporting and notification to awareness creation and information dissemination and, all the other related activities.
