SPR-4931: Utilizing Emergency Management Audio Messages for Traffic Incident Management Performance Measures

This research project will use transmissions on public safety radio channels from first responders to facilitate active incident management as well as after action reviews. The approach will focus on using opensource machine learning audio transcription techniques to transcribe scanner radio recordings into text from which relevant event and geospatial information can be extracted. The results of this project will provide the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) with a centralized dashboard on the state of its transportation network, derived from emergency response personnel in both urban and rural settings, even when limited roadside camera coverage and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) infrastructure is available.
