Project54 -- Integrated Voice-Controlled System

About Project54

As technology advances, more and more electronic devices are installed in cruisers to aid police officers while they are on the road. Unfortunately most of these devices do not work together. This results in two problems. First of all, each device has to have its own user interface within arms reach of the officer. Consequently the officers operating the cruisers have to deal with the distraction of interacting with multiple user interfaces in the hands-busy and eyes-busy environment of a car. Secondly, it is difficult to take advantage of synergies between devices. Project54 is an effort by the Consolidated Advanced Technologies Laboratory (CAT Lab) at the University of New Hampshire. Our goal is the creation and implementation of integration standards for in-car electronic devices. From the point of view of the officer operating a cruiser, the goal of the project is to create a system with a standard and safe user interface that will allow hands-free and eyes-free operation of in-car devices. From the point of view of the department that installs and maintains in-car devices, the project aims to create a modular, scalable system that is easily installed, modified, expanded, inspected, and repaired.

THERE’S NO DOUBT that one of the most challenging aspects of today’s police care environment remains the amount of technology and officer must control. A promising voicerecognition system called Project 54 can improve this situation. Developed by the University of New Hampshire (UNH) in conjunction with the New Hampshire Department of Public Safety, the system get in name from the old television show, “Car 54, Where Are You?” Although the show was funny, this technology is serious, and it works.
