Intersections may be the highest risk environment your crews face daily. The ELiMiNATOR® is designed to help engines, ladders, tankers, and command vehicles move more safely through signalized intersections by coordinating the traffic signal controller with your apparatus.
Statistics from national studies show a significant portion of firefighter line-of-duty deaths occur in traffic crashes, not only on the fireground. Intersections are a major contributor — especially when apparatus enter on red or move against stopped queues of traffic.
Modern vehicles are quieter inside than ever before. Soundproofing, loud music, mobile devices, and general distraction mean that many motorists either react late to lights and sirens or do not react at all. EVP gives your intersections more notice and a clearer path to react before your apparatus arrives.
Heavy apparatus are slower to maneuver and stop, and often have limited sightlines due to vehicle height and equipment. A system that gives the intersection more awareness of your responding units can help reduce close calls and serious crashes.
Licensed 900 MHz spectrum is less prone to interference. Better non-line-of-sight performance than higher frequencies. Operates when cellular and broadband degrade.
Preemption logic lives at the intersection, not in the cloud. Handles multiple apparatus converging simultaneously using your agency's configured priority rules.
Event logs and consistent signal behavior support driver training, after-action reviews, and policy updates — giving departments another tool to reduce risk.
Whether you're evaluating your first EVP deployment or expanding an existing system, we can walk through how ELiMiNATOR® fits your apparatus, routes, and signal infrastructure.
