A TWO-WAY DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, UTILIZING A MINICOMPUTER WHICH MONITORS VOICE TRAFFIC.
Abstract
THE DIGITAL SYSTEM IS SECONDARY TO VOICE AT ALL TIMES. REDUCTION IN DISPATCHER WORKLOAD, EXPEDITED LICENSE PLATE CHECK, IMPROVED PERSONAL SECURITY OF THE OFFICER IN THE FIELD, AND AVAILABILITY OF PATROL UNIT STATUS INFORMATION ARE ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM. FOR DETAILS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR PREDICTING THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL SYSTEMS ON CHANNEL CONGESTION, SEE NCJ-00010.
