Communication assets survey and mapping tool with data export feature

摘要

A Communication Assets Survey and Mapping Tool. The method includes collecting and storing agency, communication asset and interoperability data in a database, receiving a request for a display of agency, communication asset and interoperability of a geographic area, retrieving data regarding agency, communication asset and interoperability information from the database, determining interoperability between agencies based on their communication assets data and displaying interoperability information. Features include prioritizing interoperability solutions (a need vs ability analysis), data entry graphical user interface, data export, and community forum.

1. In a computer system, a method comprising:
collecting agency data that identifies local, state, and federal entities in a geographic region; collecting communication system asset data that identifies the communication system equipment used by each said entity in the geographic region; calculating interoperability data based upon the collected communication system asset data, wherein the interoperability data represents the interoperability of the communication equipment used by emergency and first responders between the various entities in the geographic region; storing the agency data, the communication system asset data and interoperability data in a computer database; receiving a request from a user to display the agency data, the communication system asset data, and the interoperability data for the geographic region; displaying the agency data, the communication system asset data, and the interoperability data for the geographic region to the user on a geo-spatial referenced map, including displaying the interoperability communication; allowing the user to select data content desired to be exported from the computer database; converting the selected data from the computer database to tabbed separated files compatible for use with a commercially available spreadsheet program which allows the selected data to be reviewed, manipulated or displayed.
