GPS tracking and public safety October 21, 2006
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking and public safety , trackbackA couple of GPS tracking news items caught me eye in the past few days:
- Oakland California police have installed a GPS and sensor net combination to alert them to where gunshots originate in the city. It utilizes the ShotSpotter system. According to Oakland police spokesman Pete Sarna, “It’s going to allow us to respond to gunfire in 30 seconds.”
- Even closer to my own backyard, the city of Ukiah, California has decided to purchase a GPS system that clears roads in emergency situations, by pre-empting traffic signals. This will be done using 3M’s Opticom GPS Priority Control System.
