Emergency Evacuation System

EMERGENCY EVACUATION SOLVED

During hurricanes and other emergencies, communities face the daunting task of evacuating
huge numbers of vehicles in a short period of time. The iCone™ Emergency Evacuation System
is an off the grid temporary traffic information network designed for this task that can be set up and
operating in just a few hours. It will quickly begin providing useful information, continue
working when infrastructure fails, and can be managed from remote locations.

HOW IT WORKS

Preloaded trucks each containing between 50 and 200 fully charged iCones
are ready to use. Three men per truck can drop iCones at predetermined
intervals while the truck is moving at 15 MPH and will easily cover over 30 miles
of road in an hour. A network covering hundreds of miles of roads can be created
in just a few hours. Each battery powered iCone™ will continue to operate for more
than 2 weeks and will communicate via satellite if ground based systems become
inoperable.

EASY MONITORING WITH THE ICONE SYSTEM

Once an iCone™ is dropped it immediately begins to report real time conditions. As traffic patterns are modified for the evacuation, the iCone™ will continue to report the actual speeds where it is located no matter the direction of traffic flow. By monitoring the iConetraffic.com web site the director of the evacuation plan can instruct officers to direct motorists to the fastest and clearest routes, avoiding unexpected stoppages and delays.

POST EVACUATION

Even after the evacuation the iCone™ network will be visible on the web from remote locations allowing for continued monitoring. The bottom heavy design of iCones makes them stable in high winds, but if any iCones do move during the evacuation or event a few men can replace them quickly, creating a traffic network to provide assistance to returning drivers.
