摘要: U.S. public safety and transportation officials recognize that despite significant advances in emergency roadway services in recent years, major improvements in efficiency and effectiveness could be gained by applying information technologies to incident detection, response, and management. In the summer and fall of 2000, high-level public safety and transportation officials were assembled by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Joint Program Office to consider the interaction between transportation and public safety, and to discuss opportunities for using new technologies to enhance community safety. The ITS program is a federal initiative to apply advanced technology to improve the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of the nation's surface transport network. This article provides an overview of the ITS Public Safety Program, which was formed in 2000 to increase transport safety and efficiency by enabling more effective police, fire, and emergency operations. The key goal is to deploy interoperable procedures and technologies for public safety and transportation operations.
