Traffic officers in South Wales now use GPS vehicle tracking to help them coordinate their operations. The traffic officers have a range of responsibilities which all surround keeping the roads in South Wales safe and as unblocked and smooth running as possible.
Traffic officers often have to close roads, diver traffic and remove abandoned cars and vans amongst a myriad of other duties.
This task is now being helped by the use of GPS vehicle tracking. A large panoramic screen is now situated in the control room so the officers can see where all the squad cars are at all times. This will help to organise and run the whole operation much more effectively and will particularly help in emergency situation when they need to get officers to the scene quickly or in pursuit situations.
GPS vehicle tracking should be able to cut response times which in turn will help traffic officers solve problems much more quickly. The sooner traffic officers can get to the scene the better as often the longer a problem is left the more of a problem it can become.
Vehicle tracking is ideal for this type of application and no doubt be used in other regions in the future.
