Live Web Feed Of Incidents For Selected Areas
Working with the Florida Highway Patrol, our Computer Aided Dispatch program feeds all traffic incidents, road blockage, etc to our website for public view. I'm sure other agencies have features like this as well. I think being able to take this data and feed it into Waze would make a huge difference. Who monitors a website while on a road trip?
I also think having a way for staff in a Traffic Management Center or Emergency Communication Center to be able to monitor a feed of incidents in their specific area could be an extremely valuable tool in helping to locate incidents or verify accuracy of a report (a bunch of upvoted on a vehicle on a shoulder is a pretty good indication that one is actually there).
The more resources available to our public safety staff, and every day commuters, the safer our highways can be.
Thank everyone for reading, can't wait to hear your thoughts!!
Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, a live map is available as a web version, which you can use to see real time traffic reports. Search for Waze live map.
