Description:
MAInEx project aims to take the InfoEx concept (an open exchange of professional level data) to the next level of interoperability. Navigating avalanche terrain safely requires access to the best data possible. Effective AvSAR responses require good planning and informed risk management decisions made in the field. These decisions are based on the data at hand and MAInEx will ensure the most current and accurate data is made available to SAR teams. These relevant and complete real-time condition assessments will be available to SAR groups to enable them to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of responders.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcome is to improve access to information for first responders that is critical in decision making, including avalanche, snowpack and weather data passed trough interoperational exchange. The main objective of MAInEx is to develop a robust online data exchange system that is optimized for mobile and desktop devices. MAInEx will Implement a modular design which supports system upgradability and ongoing feature enhancement to support efficient data access and analysis to ensure effective avalanche risk management.
