Well-organised and rapid response to incidents and emergencies – it will be possible to reroute 2,500 police, 800 fire and 705 ambulance vehicles, 150 SUV and 50 small port security vessels immediately on alert of an emergency ensuring that incident response times are much faster.


Increased port security – this includes monitoring the location of 55 small vessels and a number of four-wheel drive vehicles;


Speedy transportation of athletes – the transfer of those participating in the games from between the stadium and the Olympic village will be efficiently managed as athletes’ buses will be rerouted as necessary.


During the games, it is anticipated some 600 operators will log on to a secure intranet every day to access all vehicle movements and locations enabling them to manage their vehicles more efficiently.


Incident locations can be sent to in-vehicle terminals which will guide the emergency vehicles to the correct place.
