The Telematics-Enabled Coordination of Mobile Emergency Decontamination Processes in Transport Hubs

Abstract

Mass decontamination in transport hubs is a time-critical emergency-response task following accidents involving hazardous goods, where operational effectiveness depends on rapid coordination, reliable control, and traceable execution. This paper proposes a telematics-enabled digital coordination framework for mobile emergency decontamination in transport-hub environments. The framework is formalised as a four-layer cyber-physical architecture integrating operator interaction, application-layer control, equipment-level execution, and persistent audit-oriented data management. Its operational logic is supported by a deterministic lifecycle model, algebraic preset validation, and role-based access control. The proposed approach was evaluated through scenario-based simulation and a transport-hub case study. The results confirmed functional correctness and operational feasibility of the framework, while the case study indicated a 42% reduction in mean response time and a 44% reduction in sustainability-related operational loss compared with conventional manual coordination. The study shows that mobile decontamination can be interpreted as a digitally coordinated safety service within transport hubs and that telematics-enabled orchestration can improve response readiness and operational resilience in disruption-sensitive environments.
