ScenarioErie County ARES/RACES provides Day‐of‐Event communications for two large bicycle events
ADA T d C RidADA Tour de Cure – 1200+ RidersRide for Roswell ‐ 6200+ Riders
Record keeping and management of events of this Record‐keeping and management of events of this magnitude QUICKLY outgrew our previous pen‐on‐paper techniquesp p qRadio communications channels were overrun with position report requests and replies, sometimes i di bili i i iimpeding our ability to mitigate emergencies

Management Console•As communications come in, radio operators can assign an item as “Needs Management Attention”•These communications are logged and then sent to the Management Console screenConsole screen•Event Manager decides how to handle each of these items, tells the radio operators to contact the appropriate field units, and types pp p , ypinto the log the disposition of each of these Action Items•These dispositions are also time‐stamped into the log

Future improvements pendingNon‐Ham call‐taker screen
Allows for phone‐bank operators to log data into the t t tevent management system
Will automatically route all info to the management screen to take the burden off the radio operators to route pcall info
Bike Repair consoleWill allow all bike repair requests to be routed to one i di id l t i d t kindividual to assign and track

Why did we add APRS?Increasing numbers of bike riders
L di t d b bik Large distance covered by bike courses
Trying to manage these increases with the same Trying to manage these increases with the same number of communicators
Newer technology is available to help us out

What did we gain with APRS?Position Tracking
We always know where the tactical units are
Decreased Quantity of Voice CommunicationsN t f “Wh ?” th iNo more requests for “Where are you?” over the air
Quicker Response to EmergenciesQuicker Response to EmergenciesEasier to assign the closest course vehicle to an incident
