BURNABY, British Columbia-WebTech Wireless Inc. and Coastal Range Systems Inc. have signed memorandums of understanding with the City of Richmond to provide technology that will change traffic lights to green as emergency vehicles approach intersections.
The citywide system, which is expected to be completely deployed by September 2006, is designed to improve emergency response times.
WebTech’s applications include automatic vehicle location, mapping, reporting, vehicle maintenance, driver status, in-vehicle telemetry, messaging, in-vehicle navigation and wireless application and Internet connectivity.
