Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL)
The Automatic Vehicle Locator gives your dispatch teams the tools necessary to provide the highest level of public safety. With AVL installed in units, dispatchers can continuously monitor the location and progress of their response teams. Now dispatchers can share information with field units, have complete awareness of their team members out in the field, and provide added safety to their incident response teams.
- Tracking system displays the vehicle location on a virtual map in the dispatch center, allowing all personnel to view the progress of the unit. The system identifies what type of unit, the exact location, and whether or not they are already assigned to a call.
- View vehicle progress in real-time to keep track of the response units out in the field. AVL makes it easy for dispatchers to send reinforcements or additional response teams to the scene, without having to worry about being told the location.
- Decreases response time by enabling dispatchers to assign the closest unit to the call site. Getting accurate directions is a snap, too. The system can automatically recommend new routes to avoid road closures and traffic. Details known obstacles can be disseminated to all other units and the dispatch center so everyone is aware of current road conditions.
- Keep accurate records to make it easy for team members to review the response process, starting with where the public safety unit was located, and how the situation unfolded at the call site. Through AVL, public safety personnel are more equipped to evaluate the progress of the public safety center.
- Keep your personnel safer by knowing exactly where they are at all times. If an officer or public safety responder needs assistance and is unable to radio in their exact location, AVL ensures that their information is accurate, and constant—displayed in real-time.
- Easy set up makes AVL that much more convenient. The technology can be stand alone or integrated into the InterAct CAD and other third party programs with ease.
