Keeping streets safer, one alert at a time
The Volpe Center for Transportation Research uses Waze data to help states focus enforcement and first responder resources in high-risk areas.
Keeping safety pros safe on the road
For community heroes like police, firefighters, EMTs, tow truck drivers, work crews and other roadside operators, being struck by a passing vehicle is a serious, leading, and preventable cause of death. While lights and sirens typically give drivers less than three seconds to safely react, the Waze app protects workers by notifying drivers 30+ seconds sooner via HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud service.
More time to move over, fewer accidents
How does it work? Installed in vehicle transponders or via direct API integration, Safety Cloud activates when an emergency responder turns on lights and/or sirens. Nearby Wazers receive instant alerts about the hazard, giving them more time to move over, reducing the likelihood of collision,preventing injuries and deaths, and improving incident response times.
“It’s a great way to keep all the roadways safe.”
John Liman, PIO, Rochester Hills Fire Department
