Real-time incident reporting and escalation

Purpose

1. Enable immediate, automated reporting and escalation of safety, operational, or maintenance incidents on amusement park rides.

2. Ensure compliance with industry regulations by logging, timestamping, and routing incidents to appropriate personnel.

3. Minimize risk, improve response times, and provide audit trails for health and safety reviews.

4. Integrate ride sensors, staff mobile devices, and park management systems for seamless incident management.

5. Facilitate root cause analysis and trend reporting through structured incident data aggregation.

Trigger Conditions

1. Ride sensor detects mechanical or electrical fault (e.g., vibration threshold, emergency stop).

2. Manual report submission via mobile app or web portal by staff or supervisors.

3. Regulatory compliance check failures (e.g., scheduled inspection overdue).

4. IoT monitor logs temperature, speed, or force outside of prescribed ranges.

5. Visitor complaint submitted about safety via customer feedback system.
