Automated Dispatch

There has been some discussion on the local news media about the upgrade to Ramsey County ECC. Google it and you will likely find your answer. I think it will be soon, like sometime this spring.

KSTP did a story about the Ramsey County ECC upgrades and there was a quick blurb about the automated fire dispatcher doing it's thing.

Last time I went looking, this was about the only statement on the topic I could find:

At some point probably, but years away..

It would seem at this point a sticky thread on phase 2 would be a good idea. It seems to come up every so often in random threads.

I wonder which of these is true:
1) The clock on the computer handling the automated dispatch is set a couple of minutes slow.
2) The time spoken is the time the time the entry was started or something.
3) something else

The time time difference is very consistently right around 2.5 minutes, so 2 seems unlikely to me.

If they are using Locution the dispatch goes to the station first over IP. This is what allows up to 20 runs to be dispatched simultaneously. The actual radio transmission may be a little later.

Columbus uses Locution and I have seen trucks pull up to the scene and the run is just now coming over their radio.

I think the time is off, they just dispatched on a sick person and they radioed about 90 seconds later on the ops channel assigned that they where in route.

I agree. It is VERY consistent. The time spoken is the time 2 minutes and 14 seconds before the transmission begins. If the transmission begins < 14 seconds after the start of the minute, the time spoken with be (current minute - 3), otherwise (current minute - 2).

The clock was fixed Wed Mar 25 somewhere between 21:04 and 21:17.

Thank you Ramsey County clock setter.
