The use of GPS technology can also be used for
incident management and for monitoring the road
network (i.e. road accidents, special events etc.).
This technology is used in pilot applications in
Greece, Holland, Norway and Spain in the
framework of the research project IN-RESPONSE
[27]. The use of the same technology in incident
management (e.g., monitoring of the emergency
vehicles and minimization of their journey time in
urban areas) has also been proposed in the
framework of other research in Greece [28].
