NBCC Pilot of the Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System Sandbox

The NBCC Mobile First Technology initiative conducted a pilot project to experiment with providing real-time data feeds into Canada’s Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System (MASAS).

Research topics

situation awareness, CanOps, MASAS

MFTi completed a prototype that explores the use of the Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System (MASAS), which was developed and is managed by the Canadian Public Safety Operations Organization (CanOps). MASAS is a system that enables trusted information providers to federate their real-time data such that it can be easily filtered and visualized in real-time and geographically by registered data consumers. Real-time data types include public safety alerts, weather alerts, or any other communication of an emergent nature. Potential MASAS data consumers are generally organizations that have a public safety function for their clients. Organizations of this type include schools and post-secondary institutions, public safety organizations, and public event organizers. The act of federating and provide visualization of real-time data feeds is intended to enable the data consumers to maintain situation awareness.

MFTi's MASAS prototype posts and displays real-time data to the MASAS sandbox, a test facility operated by CanOps for organizations to develop, verify, and validate their data feeds. MFTi developed custom software and hardware in its Saint John Ideaspace to collect water level data in real-time and post them to MASAS via its Restful API. The resulting data feed can then be visualized in the MASAS browser.
