How do different navigation systems affect emergency response time? A prospective simulation study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

There has not been a theoretical test run in Germany that compares different navigation systems with an industry solution (MapTrip112). The aim of this study was to compare navigation systems to elucidate whether the emergency response time (ERT) was reduced and, consequently, whether the adherence to the travel time improved.

Design

Prospective, simulation study, cross-sectional study.

Setting

Offices of the Institute of Occupational Medicine, Social Medicine and Environmental Medicine, Goethe University Frankfurt (60 590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany). The situation-adaptable industry navigation solution MapTrip112 was tested in its 'Lights and Siren(s) (L&S)' mode in comparison to the TomTom and Google Maps navigation systems. MapTrip112 was set to calculate
