Case Study: Traffic Citation Improvement System in Coral Springs, Florida | 2006-01-18 01:01:44 | |
| Located about 15 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Coral Springs encompasses 23 square miles. To address the traffic/speeding problem, the city had two choices: hire more officers to patrol the streets or increase the current officer's productivity. Since hiring and outfitting a new patrol officer would cost $122,000 a year, the Citation System Improvement Team focused on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing Traffic Enforcement Unit officers. After analyzing the problem, the Citation System Improvement Team agreed to develop a system whereby laptop computers and small printers would be mounted on the Traffic Enforcement Unit's motorcycles. The ruggidized Itronix GoBook laptop is designed to withstand environmental stresses such as rain, wind, dust, shock, vibration, and chemical exposure. | |||
