Intersection collisions involving emergency vehicles cause injury, damage, and delay. The ELiMiNATOR® collision avoidance system warns responding crews when another equipped authorized vehicle is on a converging path — even in rural areas with no traffic signals.
Configurable conflict windows allow departments to define when alerts trigger based on distance and ETA. Audible alerts provide advance warning before crews reach the potential conflict zone, allowing dispatch-level coordination and approach speed adjustment.
When two or more equipped vehicles approach the same intersection from different directions, both crews receive audible warnings — giving them time to slow, coordinate, or yield.
Collision avoidance operates independently of traffic infrastructure. Even at uncontrolled rural intersections with no signals, equipped vehicles detect each other via 900 MHz radio.
Each department defines its own conflict windows — the distance and ETA thresholds that trigger alerts. Policies can vary by vehicle type, priority class, or corridor.
Unlike competing systems that treat collision avoidance as a separate product or optional upgrade, the ELiMiNATOR® includes vehicle-to-vehicle collision detection as a built-in capability of every unit. The same 900 MHz radio used for preemption simultaneously monitors for converging vehicles.
This means departments get both preemption and collision avoidance from a single installation, a single radio, and a single budget line — with no additional infrastructure required.
We can walk through how the ELiMiNATOR® collision avoidance feature works for your fleet, corridors, and mutual aid partners.
