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.

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 Traveler Information Services
CARS-511 is a voice XML-based traveler 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.

ENTERPRISE
The ENTERPRISE Program is a pooled-fund study comprised of member agencies (State Departments of Transportation) from North America and Europe.  The primary mission of the ENTERPRISE Program is to develop and carry out a joint research program to develop, evaluate, and deploy Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies.

Mayday
The purpose of Mayday is to assist travelers that have been involved in accidents or breakdowns without relying on the traveler to provide emergency services with pertinent information. Through GPS tracking and transmitting, Mayday sends a call for help along with the vehicle's location to an emergency response team. This provides quick, accurate information, even when the traveler is incapacitated.

Web Development
The display of traveler information on the Internet is a concept that has grown in popularity and usefulness. Castle Rock has worked with several Departments of Transportation to develop an effective mechanism for displaying traveler information on the Internet.
