  • Designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services
    Designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services (RapiDES) Vehicle for 2020: Addressing the problem of ever increasing traffic delaying the emergency services vehicles in big cities by Martin CS Tee A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in Industrial Design Department of Art and Design University of Alberta © Martin CS Tee, 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis/project is about the design process of designing a conceptual vehicle design that responds to a growing global phenomenon of ever increasing traffic congestion delaying emergency response times of various emergency services. This thesis aims at establishing the case for a smarter, smaller and more responsive emergency services vehicle design by first looking at the phenomenon of ever increasing traffic volume in big cities around the world particularly in North America, examining the causes and consequences of traffic congestion, and identifying the most critical impact it causes which is on the emergency response times of various emergency services which makes a difference between life and death with a minute’s delay to the scene. The thesis then attempts to offer a solution with the accompanying practical project focusing on designing a Rapid Deployment Emergency Services (RapiDES) vehicle for the near future (2020) to meet the challenges of saving lives and properties in a quick and responsive way. This design of RapiDES will serve as a baseline model for the North American context and can be modified to suit the needs and requirements for other markets. The design requirements and key features of RapiDES are generated and described in the Design Brief of RapiDES as a result of rigorous research mapping exercise and scenario studies of RapiDES in action for the three emergency services of EMS, fire rescue and law enforcement.
