Abstract
We present the results of a data mining research on the use of GPS positions and speed of travel of vehicles in urban areas to determine optimal travel routes for emergency vehicles. A new approach using predictive programming is presented. The approach focuses on using data mining of existing data as the key factor in the application logic where various decisions are to be made. The main appeal of such an approach is that the application logic evolves over time according to the application data. As the data changes the decisions soon follow. This gives the impression of intelligent behavior of the application.
