A typical police cruiser is filled with electronic devices, displays, and inputs, all competing for the officer's attention. The Project54 system integrates those devices using standards for hardware, software, and user interface integration. Its speech-based user interface lets officers operate the system without taking their eyes off the road, while a graphical user interface provides backup. Police departments can install the system's devices in safe locations in the cruiser, and using standards makes it easy to incorporate new devices into the system.
