And Control

Ausgangspunkt des Beitrages ist die Beobachtung, dass sogenannte command and control center im Zuge von Smart-City-Vorhaben zu wichtigen Bausteinen der Stadtentwicklung werden – nicht nur in der von uns untersuchten „Smart City Mission“ in Indien, sondern weltweit. Die Idee der Vermessung, Lesbarmachung und Steuerung von Städten in einem zentralen Raum wird vielfach als neue und zeitgemäße Antwort auf die Herausforderungen der Städte im „digitalen Zeitalter“ präsentiert – nicht zuletzt von globalen Beratungsfirmen und lokalen Eliten. Wir zeigen, dass diese Ansätze auf Logiken aufbauen, die bereits in der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Kybernetik entworfen worden sind. Eine solche historische Einordnung ermöglicht es, die Übersetzungen und Materialisierungen dieser Logiken in spezifischen Kontexten sowie die dabei auftretenden Brüche herauszuarbeiten. Gleichzeitig trägt die Perspektive dazu bei, die von Technologieanbietern und Beratungsfirmen propagierte Alternativlosigkeit smarter Stadtentwicklungspolitik aufzubrechen und diese damit einer Kritik zugänglich zu machen.

Search and rescue operations can range from small, confined spaces, such as collapsed buildings, to large area searches during missing person operations. K9 units are tasked with intervening in such emergencies and assist in the optimal way to ensure a successful outcome for the mission. They are required to operate in unknown situations were the lives of the K9 handler and the canine companion are threatened as they operate with limited situational awareness. Within the context of the INGENIOUS project, we developed a K9 vest for the canine companion of the unit, aiming to increase the unit’s safety while operating in the field, assist the K9 handler in better monitoring the location and the environment of the K9 and increase the information provided to the Command and Control Center during the operation.

IntroductionPakistan is a developing country with a basic prehospital system in some cities. The prehospital services are a mixture of government and private ambulances.There is no central regulatory body for them and no central command to control the influx and out flux of ambulances from the scene.ObjectiveIn this paper, five episodes of terrorist incidents in the country and will try to estimate the number of ambulances on the scene.MethodsRetrospective data was collected and triangulation was done by three sources: (1) ambulance records; (2) visual estimation; and (3) print media. An estimate of total ambulances was reached along with dead and injured. Furthermore medical transport capacity was calculated where possible.ResultsIn majority of the incidents, it was found that there was a huge influx of ambulances beyond the need. This further adds to the chaos and confusion already present on the scene of disaster.ConclusionsA Command and Control Center should be established to direct all ambulance control and movements.
