About GST RESCUE

The GST Integrated Project and its related activities offer excellent opportunities to improve the information flow and operation of the rescue chain. The ability to accurately assess the type of emergency and resources required to provide the appropriate response is critical in ensuring that the "Golden Hour" principle – a victim's right to medical help within sixty minutes of an incident - is employed to maximum effect.

GST RESCUE's main feature is to ensure that information about an incident is available in the emergency vehicles and that the emergency vehicle reaches the incident scene rapidly and safely. To ensure this, GST RESCUE will complete the in-vehicle emergency call chain, guide the emergency service to incident scene by accurate locations, trial blue corridors and coning systems (vehicle-to-vehicle communication) - thus warning other road users of the approach of the emergency services. In addition, thanks to GST RESCUE, the emergency response can greatly highly benefit from the exchange of information between the rescue units and control rooms such as police or hospitals – thus helping their own efforts to save lives.
