Intergraph Public Safety will implement its computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, giving dispatchers instant, visual information. Dispatchers will be able to see emergency vehicles and the events they are responding to on a map that updates automatically on their computer screens. In addition to CAD, a new video and voice communications system and broadband network will be installed. The new integrated solution will also allow for interoperability between Intergraph systems already operational at the Canton Police of Zurich and the City Police of Winterthur.
