Both emergency and internal communication can be improved through the use of a separate secure and delimited communication network that is not dependent on mobile phone networks that may not be available in crucial situations.

Communication and location of Patrol Vehicles

During certain periods and in certain areas - when there is heavy traffic and a high volume of calls is made during a traffic jam or incident - there is a loss of communication as the mobile cell becomes saturated. Therefore, the communication link to talk to communication centres and update the GPS position of vehicle is not available at times when it is most required. An alternative method of communication method that improves reliability by incidents would be desirable, as long as a mobile communication kit that can be carried by the road operator officers when outside the patrol vehicle.

Automatic detection of Patrol Vehicle Activity

When there is a road incident, the most appropriate patrol vehicle is sent to investigate and remedy the situation. In determining which vehicle to send, the user has to account for the location of the patrol vehicle (how close it iss to the event) and what the current activity of the vehicle (if involved in an ongoing incident management on the road). The user wants to use a combination of automatic detection of activity and reporting by the driver to determine status of vehicle activity in order to send workers that are least busy or doing the least critical tasks at the time.
