Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Automated Vehicle Location (AVL), and Routing are all examples of dynamic data sources that are routinely integrated with GIS.

Crawl Agencies often extract a snapshot of the data from CAD or RMS to look at the calls and units at a particular time in history. This data can be imported into GIS, geocoded, and used to create mapping that shows patterns, density, and frequency of calls. It is also used to visualize which units respond where, how often the first due units are unavailable, and to calibrate the most effective routing to the calls.	Walk Migrating GIS functionality for CAD, AVL and routing means integrating the dynamic feeds from CAD and AVL to an online map to enable situational awareness and resources supporting it. This gives an up-to-the-moment look at system activity and resource response.	Run The future of this type of integration is to extend the integrated feeds like CAD and AVL from other systems with the benefit of real-time analysis (geo-events triggering) that forms decision support. A simple example of this is that the system will be able to notify a hospital trauma team when an ambulance with a critical patient is 5 minutes from the door. This functionality combines GIS data, dynamic call information, street network analysis, and vehicle tracking data with notification technologies.
