Global Traffic Technologies Introduces Opticom[TM] Central Management Software; Consolidated Control Improves Efficiency and Lowers Costs.ST. PAUL St. Paul as a missionary he fearlessly confronts the “perils of waters, of robbers, in the city, in the wilderness.” [N.T.: II Cor. 11:26] See : Bravery , Minn. -- Global Traffic Technologies developed its new Opticom[TM] Central Management Software to help users achieve greater control, efficiency and security with their Opticom Infrared Systems for emergency vehicle preemption preemption U.S. policy that allowed the first settlers, or squatters, on public land to buy the land they had improved. Since improved land, coveted by speculators, was often priced too high for squatters to buy at auction, temporary preemptive laws allowed them to acquire or transit signal priority. From a desktop computer, this server-based software platform links Opticom-controlled intersections via a community's existing communications infrastructure. Users can easily manage Opticom system security settings, create activity reports, respond to performance issues and complete proactive maintenance Proactive maintenance is a maintenance strategy for stabilizing the reliability of machines or equipment using Proactive maintenance services. Its central theme involves directing corrective actions aimed at failure root causes, not active failure symptoms, faults, or machine wear reviews - all without field visits to individual traffic cabinets at intersections. The city of Mesa, Ariz., was an early Central Management Software adopter; ITS engineer Jeff Jenq says the software quickly helped identify potential maintenance issues and system improvements in just the first two weeks. "We were very interested in this software's ability to reduce our maintenance costs and improve the overall operation of our Opticom Infrared System," he explains. Existing communications methods and multiport devices in Mesa's traffic cabinets meant that Opticom Central Management Software was implemented without any additional infrastructure investment. For any Opticom Infrared System installation, the Central Management Software greatly aids the development and management of a coding plan to ensure that signal preemption is only granted to authorized vehicles - both emergency and transit - based on predetermined pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1. To determine, decide, or establish in advance: , customizable criteria. An effective coding plan helps optimize safety and enables detailed tracking of system usage. Sophisticated data-analysis capabilities in the Central Management Software summarize and highlight key performance metrics Performance metrics are measures of an organizations activities and performance. Performance metrics should support a range of stakeholder needs from customers, shareholders to employees [1]. , including overall system activity and detailed information categorized by specific intersections, vehicles, agencies, jurisdictions or the entire region.
