Context
Nepal Ambulance System is a fleet-tracking and dispatch-support web platform for emergency medical services. The system gives operations teams real-time ambulance visibility so they can coordinate faster and make better dispatch decisions under time pressure.
My Role
I helped build the web application workflows used by back-office teams to monitor fleet status and respond to emergencies more effectively.
My contributions included:
- implementing map-based real-time GPS tracking for active ambulances
- supporting status monitoring workflows (available, en route, at hospital, and related states)
- enabling dispatch-oriented views to identify the nearest suitable ambulance
- integrating route and traffic-aware operational decision support
- building alert and notification patterns for operational exceptions
Technical Challenges
- handling real-time location updates in a way that stayed clear and actionable for operators
- reducing decision latency during emergency dispatch workflows
- maintaining system usability for high-pressure operations teams
- supporting route adjustments when traffic or road conditions changed
- balancing operational visibility with secure communication of sensitive information
Stack
- Node.js
- AngularJS
- Mapbox
- GPS and map-based fleet monitoring
Outcomes
- Improved real-time fleet visibility for emergency response operations
- Enabled faster dispatch coordination through location and status-aware workflows
- Reduced manual communication overhead with centralized operational tracking
- Strengthened day-to-day reliability for ambulance monitoring and routing decisions
Extra Feature Details
- live GPS tracking on interactive maps for all active ambulances
- dispatch support for nearest-available ambulance selection
- status tracking for operational ambulance states (available, en route, hospital)
- route optimization support based on real-time traffic and road conditions
- alerting for delays, unscheduled stops, and related operational exceptions
What This Proves
This project shows my ability to build systems in high-urgency domains where response speed and clarity matter. It demonstrates practical execution across geospatial interfaces, backend-driven operations, and workflow reliability.
