Discussion about AVL – Automatic Vehicle Locaters • AVL - are quickly becoming a standard tool for Police, Fire and EMS • Two basic types of AVL systems are available, land-based and satellite-based • Active (2 way) versus Passive (receive only)systems • Routing capabilities from CAD utilizing cellular or satellite
Discussion about AVL – Automatic Vehicle Locaters • Land units require a radio frequency using radio antennas strategically placed throughout the service area • Satellite- based global positioning systems bounce location systems off a satellite and back down to a radio frequency land system.
Discussion about Reverse 911 • What it does and how it uses GIS • Usable in emergency and non-emergency applications • Added personal safety in a mobile environment • Other uses include school systems and employee notifications
