“First-due” areas are typically fixed by NFPA-guided response times around stations, but assuming these jurisdictions have deterministic and consistent edges is optimistic. As traffic increases in a community, the ability for anyone to move through the street network becomes more difficult – even if you increase the risk of an accident with the use of lights and sirens. The time-of-day, weather, or even traffic accidents can change the distance a vehicle can travel within any time standard. Furthermore, as units are out responding, or returning from calls, their response capability must be thought to be effectively dragged around with them. A service area is never really left at the station.
Accurate time-of-routing is necessary for defining responses that allow dispatchers to make the right unit assignments, for any system to provide navigation, or for the optimization of your deployment of resources based on a standards of cover.

MARVLIS provides two options to estimate traffic
in your local community.
in your local community.
- A commercial data option, such as TomTom, offers not only a strong network of sensors to provide good live estimates, but can also provide a seamless integration with multiple surrounding counties.
- If your own local GIS data is preferred, only MARVLIS has a tool to automate your historic AVL data into customized time-of-day impedances.
