- Cost Effective / Multi-Use: Because this system utilizes traffic-cabinet mounted Priority Detectors, which are also be used to detect transit and first-response vehicles, much of the cost may be shared by other municipal or regional agencies.
- Accessibility: Maintains compliance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by allowing user interaction though visual-touch or voice-communication interface.
- Communications: Wayside Priority Detectors are equipped with 100 MB Ethernet ports 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.
- 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 intersections 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 an ongoing basis to allow for budget and time constraints. As additional intersections are added, the in-app map updates the available intersections to highlight desired pedestrian routes.
