- Cost Effective / Multi-Use: Because this system utilizes control-cabinet mounted Priority Detectors, which may also be used to detect transit and first-response vehicles, much of the cost may be shared by other municipal or regional agencies.
- Communications: Wayside Priority Detectors are equipped with 100 MB Ethernet communication and may receive commands from other agency vehicles using standard or custom protocols. Priority Detectors are also NTCIP ready and may act as DSRC pass-through components.
- Expanded Vehicle Detection: Detect bicycles and motorcycles, as well as small vehicles that are difficult to detect by other methods. If the app is running, detection will occur without regard to weather, vehicle size, clothing color, or the material from which the vehicle is made.
- System Security: The EMTRAC system has several different layers of protection, and all transmitted data is encrypted using the latest encryption algorithms.
- Data Friendly: The app is optimized to reduce data usage based on a number of factors, such as proximity to detection zones and the amount of mobile-device movement. Data transmissions from the device are small, and update frequency is configurable so data usage can be kept low.
- Flexibility: Intersections may be installed on a per-route basis to allow for budget and time constraints. As additional intersections are added, the in-app map display also updates available intersections to highlight desired bike routes.
