CARS - Condition Acquisition and Reporting System

CARS is a road reporting system that supports a multi-state database of traffic events, including construction, accidents, road conditions and delays.  CARS databases drive web, 511, DMS, HAR and LPFM systems without further manual input.

CARS - 511 - Condition Acquisition and Reporting System for 511 Traveller Information Services
CARS-511 is a voiceXML-based traveller information reporting system that provides callers with real-time construction, accidents, road conditions and delays via an easy-to-remember three-digit telephone number: “5-1-1”. CARS-511 requires no additional data input because it uses information directly from CARS.

Amber Alerts - The Amber Plan is a voluntary, cooperative program between the law enforcement community and the broadcast media to send an emergency alert to the public when a child has been abducted and is believed to be in danger. Castle Rock is deploying a module to be known as CARS-Amber. CARS multi-state travel information databases will allow any authorized law enforcement personnel to enter an Amber Alert from any location within the state, thus automating the currently lengthy data entry process.
