Abstract
According to the statistics from 1997 to 2007, the growth of Emergency Medical Service (EMS), hitting 136.30%, predominately dominates the service duties of fire agency and clearly reflects the increasing demands by the general public. Referring to effectiveness and efficiency of MES, the arrival time and response time are the most crucial elements for saving the injured or in-need people. Service coverage of a specific fire station related to driving distance to the sites has a direct influence on the Response Time of EMS. For understanding the driving velocity of ambulance and coverage of EMS, 105,265 cases reported to Commanding Center of Taipei County EMS in 2007 have been reviewed and identified by locations through the GIS system. By achieving so, the study of driving velocity could be analyzed by actual distance and response time. The regression model developed to evaluate the efficiency and coverage of EMS will practically provide the best reference for future improvement.
