Abstract
ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH This is to introduce an EDP-system to support the operation management in head offices. Two terminal workplaces are projected on a screen showing how to handle the actions of e.g. fire departments and rescue services. This system uses the advantages of CAD-technology. Apart from the ordinary tasks of operation management this system deals with - i.e. detection, alarm, control, documentation - the assignment of vehicles by means of intelligent vector and raster graphics is explained. The clerk in the head office sees the current events at the place of action and the constellation of available means with their positions and states in a three-dimensional graphic display.
