Case Study: CBMERJ (Military Fire Department of Rio de Janeiro) achieves enhanced public safety and resource optimization at the 2016 Olympic Games with Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division

Military Fire Department of the State of Rio de Janeiro Uses Hexagon Solutions to Ensure Public Safety During Olympic Games

CBMERJ, the Military Fire Department of the State of Rio de Janeiro, faced the challenge of providing high-quality public safety during the 2016 Olympic Games amid limited resources and a huge influx of people. To meet this need they partnered with Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division, deploying industry-leading computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software and complementary solutions including major incident and event management, 3D mapping, Incident Analyzer/Smart M.App, and the S|Portal situational-awareness tools.

Hexagon's Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial Division implemented a scalable CAD system that supported CBMERJ’s 54 operational positions and more than 7,000 daily calls, programmed the entire Olympic event into its incident-management platform, and delivered detailed 3D venue models and web-based command tools. The technology enabled CBMERJ to plan and dynamically allocate resources for more than 2,500 employees and 76 advanced tactical units, speed decision-making and response, estimate staffing demand, and run spatial analyses (lines of sight, vehicle access) that improved operational efficiency and on-the-ground coordination.
