Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 交通管理(科學)學系 === 81 === This study constructs a system of emergency delivery and med- ical service network for Sun Yat-Sen National Freeway. By using Geographic Information System (GIS), it can display the shortest path for ambulance delivery and analyze a hospital''s service zone . This study applies Revised Trauma Score (RTS) to distinguish the situation of patient and to decide a patient should be sent to what kind of hospital. In GIS application, the results of this study can be concluded: (1) There are 23 hospitals invited by National Freeway Bureau. These hospitals are divided into two levels. The first level includes 5 hospitals (2 medical centers and 3 regional hospi- tals). The other hospitals are set to level 2 ( 18 hospitals) . Patients with severe or intermediate scaled injury should be sent to level 1 hospitals. (2) In service zone analysis, Hospital Chan- Gan (Linkou) is more important in saving mild, intermediate or severe patients. Hospital Chi-Zen is also important in saving mild/light inju- red patients. (3) It takes longer time to deliver patients if they were injured on freeway in Taoyuan ( from 55 to 73 Km ). National Freeway Bureau should invite other hospitals such as medical center or regional hospital to join the emergency medical service network. (4) Between Keelung and Yangmei, driving in northbound direction on freeway is more dangerous than in southbound direction.The most dangerous section is on Taishan toll station zone ( from 35 to 36 Km) in northbound direction. The accident number and ETAN ( Equivalent - Traffic - Accident - Number ) are highest (42, 671.5) than other sections. It should be the number one section to be improved.
