The Computer Aided Dispatch market is expected to grow from USD 1.12 billion in 2017 to USD 1.95 billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. Several factors such as the rise in national public safety initiatives, updated policies and regulations, increase in criminal activities and natural disasters, and the advent of connected devices are responsible for the growth of the market. The increased adoption of CAD solutions and services by several industry verticals, such as government, transportation, healthcare and life sciences, and utilities, have boosted the growth of the market.

CAD is the process of dispatching resources, such as security officers, fire brigade units, and ambulance services, with the help of a centralized console or computer. CAD solutions and services streamline the entire process of incident management in an organization. They provide organizations a single point of access for all integrated capabilities, such as call handling and dispatching, field communications, third-party application integration, and data reporting and analysis. CAD solutions are heavily used by public safety departments or agencies where dispatch and unit status monitoring is crucial.

The global Computer Aided Dispatch market is segmented by component (solutions and services), application area (call management, dispatch unit management, reporting and analysis, and others), deployment type, organization size, vertical, and region. The services component is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period because services help organizations in easily deploying the software on their premises or cloud.

The Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR in the CAD market during the forecast period. The increased competitive market scenario has prompted SMEs to invest in CAD software and adopt go-to-market strategies to make competent business decisions. As opposed to large enterprises, SMEs have budget constraints and face strong completion from their competitors. CAD solutions provide the benefits of real-time event chat, flexibility, and configurable workflow to SMEs. Furthermore, CAD offers cutting-edge and easy-to-use reporting features that offer SMEs deep insights into their operational efficiency, and provide more intelligence for response planning
 

Computer Aided Dispatch finds its uses in various applications such as call management, dispatch unit management, and reporting and analysis

Call Management

The calls received in dispatch centers fetch sufficient and accurate information from the callers, and they are updated in the CAD system. The respondent to the calls can then schedule activities for dispatch. The calls are managed and callers’ details are updated by the officials on the site. Thereafter, the resources are updated with the proper course of action for the units to be dispatched. All voice and text communications between agencies and dispatch centers are managed by the call management software. The sequence of calls and the information flow are managed by the call management software, which helps dispatchers communicate with various on-field units.

Dispatch Unit Management

In case of emergencies, the units to be dispatched are recorded and the other units that are not to be dispatched are notified of the events. Sometimes, when multiple units are dispatched, a primary contact is designated to one of the units. Each unit activity is recorded and updated in the CAD system. The dispatch units are required to alert or notify the dispatch centers with the latest information. The dispatch units are tracked for proper location of the vehicles and their activities are recorded in the CAD system. Even after the units are pulled off the rescue operation, their status is updated in the system.

Reporting and Analysis

Call history, unit assignments, results, comments, every data needs to be transferred to the RMS for reporting and analysis. RMS views the call status, looks for alternate flows, and determines the report. Thorough analysis of the call is carried out, and the subsequent actions are recorded and stored for future reference. The past records of the incidents with date, time, and actions are recorded to modify and correct the measures used for critical operations.

Critical questions the report answers:

• Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid to long term?
• What are the upcoming industry applications for Computer Aided Dispatch?

With the rise in population, the cost of providing the public safety and security system is also increasing. The lack of interoperability between the traditional dispatch systems and advanced computer aided systems is one of the restraining factors in the public safety. The other factors include incompatible radio equipment, lack of common language, and use of different frequency bands by different agencies. Due to this incompatibility between the legacy and advanced communication network and the aging public infrastructures, the growth of the CAD market is getting restricted. Interoperability is vital to realizing the true potential of next-generation public safety communications.
