Six capabilities purpose-built for emergency response — blue-light routing, driver alerts, trusted data, custom layers, real-time overlays, and multi-platform deployment. Each one tuned by responders for the realities of blue-light driving.

All capabilities

Blue Light Routing

Developed alongside emergency crews, our routing algorithms understand what helps first responders get to scene quicker.

Blue Light Alert®

We can pre-warn nearby drivers that a blue-light vehicle is approaching, so traffic reacts sooner and clears the path for emergency vehicles.

The geospatial data your control room trusts, on the responder's map.
