How does traffic-based routing reduce ambulance ETA delays?
Support Context
Why this answer matters
This FAQ is sourced directly from our support database. It helps teams deploy GPSController faster, reduce onboarding friction, and understand platform compatibility for real-world fleet operations.
Answer summary
Traffic-based routing uses live vehicle telematics data and road network feeds to reroute around congestion before the ambulance reaches the bottleneck. This prevents the ETA from expanding due to unexpected traffic and ensures the dispatch...
