Cadcorp Cover Modeller
Visualise live vehicle locations and evaluate the impact of control room cover moves on risk and response cover
Cadcorp Cover Modeller is a dynamic cover application for emergency services. It allows control room personnel to test the impact of potential resource relocation and make informed decisions on cover moves.
The application overlays real-time vehicle availability onto other GIS overlays, such as demographic profiles, to help control room officers maintain appropriate cover across the service area.



The interface
Benefit from both a ‘Live View’ and a ‘Scenario View’
Cover Modeller offers both a ‘Live View’ and a ‘Scenario View.’ Live View will typically be used in a control room and provides a display of live vehicle locations. The live display shows the vehicles’ drivetime footprints taking into account additional reaction or mobilisation times.
Scenario View allows emergency services to simulate cover moves and evaluate their impact on overall risk and response cover. Examples include both operational cover moves and strategic planning for periods of reduced availability.

Make cover moves in real-time, or simulate cover moves to test impact on coverage
Live View can incorporate a coverage or risk layer drawn from the organisation’s risk profile. This includes variables such as demographic profiling and historical incident data within defined areas such as grid squares or Census Lower Layer Super Output areas.
A simple traffic light system displays overall risk based on a combination of the risk layer and drivetime footprint of available vehicles. For example, an area shown in green may be considered low risk because it is either within the drivetime footprint of an available vehicle, or has a low risk profile.
In Scenario View, Cover Modeller will calculate new drivetime footprints for cover move scenarios and update the overall risk. This assists control room personnel in making the most efficient use of their available resources.

Interoperability
Related specialist modelling applications
Cover Modeller, Cadcorp Workload Modeller, and Cadcorp Risk Modeller are designed to be interoperable and can be integrated together or deployed as separate applications.
Workload Modeller is used for strategic planning, allowing emergency services to analyse the impact of demand or resource changes on operational performance. Risk Modeller provides analytical functionality to aggregate a range of risk factors to generate a combined risk map.
