Roadside emergency telephone system for highways

The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) is inviting tenders for the supply and installation of a territory-wide second-generation roadside emergency telephone system for highways.

The system would include both central computerised equipment and roadside handouts, a spokesman for EMSD said today (Friday).

"It will allow motorists to dial up from a roadside telephone and communicate with Police's Control Centres for emergency assistance in all types of traffic incidents.

"A computerised control equipment to be provided for the Police Control Centres will allow for speedier response to the motorist and easy identification of the location of the incident to effect any necessary rescue or recovery operation," he said.
