EMS World magazine has chosen 542 Global Traffic Technologies’ (GTT) Opticom Analytics as a 2017 Innovation Award winner at its annual World Expo in Las Vegas, based on the significant impact it can have on helping first responders travelling to an emergency.

It offers departments the information they need to maximise their preemption system, allowing them to arrive quickly and safely at the scene of an emergency.
