Watch our first 2023 webinar.
Public Safety Communications & Railroad Interaction:
PSAPs must interact with railroad call centers and other railroad personnel when the PSAP/ECC becomes aware that an incident requiring emergency assistance threatens railroad infrastructure or is on or near railroad tracks. Unlike calls from the public which include an address or street intersection, railroad incidents typically use a milepost, cross street or crossing identification system. This presentation covers the Emergency Notification System, the Federal Railroad Administration’s Cross and GIS data, and additional first responder resources.
Intelligent Transportation Systems and 911:
To enhance the delivery of public safety services during emergency situations and improve traffic congestion management, the McConnell Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center (MPSTOC) brings together multiple agencies from Fairfax County and the Commonwealth of Virginia. This overview describes the operating concepts of the center and how the agencies all work together, as well as how 911 benefits from collocation with, and access to, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and ITS data sharing.
