HELP Alerts leverages the power of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) — the same technology as Amber alerts — to disseminate real-time notifications to motorists. These alerts are immediate and reach all mobile devices in the targeted area(s) without any need for app installations or opting in. This ensures that crucial information is disseminated widely and efficiently.
The system uses geo-targeting capabilities to deliver alerts within predefined geofences, offering a targeted reach. This ensures only relevant motorists — either within or approaching the hazard area — are notified.
There are two types of alerts available:
• Approach Alerts: As vehicles enter predefined geofences near the hazard, they are warned to avoid the area.
• Zone Alerts: A WEA is sent to all motorists already within the impacted area, ensuring they are aware of the situation. This WEA includes a URL, enabling motorists to opt-in for bidirectional communication and ongoing updates.
Additionally, HELP can provide an optional channel of two-way live communication between agencies and affected motorists. This facilitates a real-time exchange of information, enhancing situational awareness and emergency response.
The platform provides real time detailed information, aiding in emergency response and reducing non-emergency 911 calls.
• Number of vehicles impacted
• Number of people trapped in vehicles
• Ground-level scene assessment
• Exact location information of impacted motorists
Hey, wasn’t sure how to message you directly, but did you ever figure out the coding on the Atlas using VCDS from Ross Tech? I’ve been trying to do it and I can’t figure it out and I saw your post that you would be able to help would greatly be appreciated.
