The 3M Opticom™ Priority Control System is a compact and lightweight, encoded signal device intended for use on emergency vehicles.
The encoded signal pattern is comprised of the individual vehicle class code and vehicle identification number. The emitter separates precisely timed pulses of high intensity light in the infrared and visible wavelengths at the base flash rate of approximately 10, 12, or 14 Hz. It also interleaves programmed encoded pulses that carry the vehicle class and ID number information. These energy pulses are sensed and processed by Opticom system components at traffic signals to cause activation of the system. When the system is activated, traffic signals turn green providing emergency vehicles with the right-of-way.
