Applied Information Partners with Carrier & Gable to Enhance Traffic Safety in Michigan

Applied Information, Inc., recognized as a frontrunner in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technology, has recently announced a strategic collaboration with Carrier & Gable, Inc. This partnership aims to advance the technological framework surrounding emergency vehicle preemption systems across Michigan. As traffic demands grow in urban environments, ensuring safety for both emergency responders and civilians becomes paramount.

The agreement enables Carrier & Gable, an established distributor in the traffic signal and intelligent transportation sector, to supply the complete range of Applied Information solutions. These solutions encompass critical technologies such as traffic management, school zone safety systems, remote infrastructure oversight, and connected vehicle systems. Among these offerings, the focus will be on disseminating the Glance® emergency vehicle preemption technology effectively.

Enhancing Emergency Response with Glance® Technology

At the heart of Applied Information’s improvement efforts lies the Glance Emergency Vehicle Preemption system. This innovative solution harnesses GPS satellite tracking, cellular communications, and 900 MHz signals to provide clear advantages over traditional, outdated infrared systems, which relied heavily on line-of-sight connectivity. By ensuring that emergency vehicles receive green lights at crucial intersections, Glance significantly reduces response times and enhances the overall safety of first responders and other road users.

Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information, emphasizes this commitment to safety and efficiency: “Carrier & Gable has a long history and robust connections within Michigan’s transportation agencies and public safety organizations. Their profound expertise makes them the ideal partner to deliver our Glance technology. We believe our collaboration can truly save lives and enhance mobility.”
