  2. ILT 5 Current Release Notes 01 ILT 5 is deployed exclusively with TraCS 10. Supports Point and Click mapping of incidents in TraCS. ILT 5 has progressed from Beta Release to Production stability. Current version number is 5.0.4.2. TraCS 10 requires ILT location on some forms. Currently deployed as part of a limited TraCS 10 rollout. Coming Soon to an agency near you!

  7. This Distance is called Snap Tolerance. User positions puck here. Snapping records Incident here. In-Depth: Snapping Illustrated A Roadway Network • Snap Tolerance (old way): Preset Fixed Distance. • Snap Tolerance (new way): Dynamic based on Map Extent. 06

  8. What Exactly is Dynamic Snap Tolerance? Snap Tolerance is Whatever this Distance is on the current Map Extent. 07

  9. More on ILT GPS Guidance 08 • User can move Puck OR GPS can guide the Puck! • ILT 5 Auto-Detects GPS Feed on any Serial Port. • Technically Speaking: • Any Real or Virtual COM Port • NMEA Sentences at 4800 8, N, 1 • Be Aware: GPS is Subject to Atmospheric Interference. • Be Aware: GPS does NOT fit roadway maps perfectly. • However: GPS alongside Snapping yields high Location Accuracy!

  11. Attention Admins: ILT 5 Can Receive Web Updates! 10 Sub-System is called ILT Version Update Server Maintains system code AND mapping via Web Updates. Constant network connectivity is NOT required. ILT software and maps are Version Fingerprinted (Build IDs). Update files are packaged and compressed for transfer. Offline Mode is supported (e.g. via USB or CD). Control is tunneled in HTTP and Data transfer uses FTP.
