Collision Control Communication's: Eliminator™

History
Design Features

The Eliminator is a state of the art traffic signal preemption system that overcomes the problems inherent in currently available technologies. Unlike infrared/optical preemption systems, the Eliminator’s capabilities are not limited to line of sight. Preemption is easily triggered irrespective of visual obstructions such as semi-trailers, buses, bridges or overpasses; it works equally well where visibility is reduced by heavy fog, snow, rain or blowing sand/dust.

While GPS preemption systems have overcome many of these drawbacks, most need to be taught to learn when the vehicle has entered an area where preemption is desired. The Eliminator has no such learning curve and is ready for use immediately upon installation. GPS units, by technical design, also require satellite triangulation to know where they are. This is not always possible at intersections in large cities where one or more skyscrapers, for example, may preclude satellite triangulation. In addition to overcoming the aforementioned limitations of existing technologies, the Eliminator™ also has an additional lifesaving advantage: collision avoidance.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, all 50 states now have intelligent transportation systems in the operational or planning phases. The traffic signal transceiver sub-system of the Eliminator will allow additional throughput of data for other intelligent traffic applications. This would allow traffic signals equipped with the Eliminator to eventually become the infrastructural backbone for a city’s intelligent transportation architecture, with the ability to relay real time information over great distances instantaneously.
