Project Title:   EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION AND SIGNAL PREEMPTION SYSTEM
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This is a discretionary project of the FY2001 ITS Deployment Program for Bloomingdale, Illinois.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The primary goal of this project is to improve safety and mobility. This project will provide for the planning, implementation, operation, maintenance and monitoring of a coordinated emergency signal preemption system to increase transportation safety and efficiency. The project will enable more effective police, fire, and emergency operations throughout DuPage County.

SCOPE OF WORK
This project will provide for the deployment of preemption system improvements and development of a database map of signal preemption intersections.

The eventual goal of this program is to install and operate preemption at all signalized arterial/collector intersections within DuPage County. The other major objective of the program is to create a County-wide database map of all intersections with preemption systems. This database would then be used by all private call centers, Public Safety Access Points, and other emergency response agencies at the local, county and state level.
