Preempt traffic. Prevent collisions. Save lives.
ELiMiNATOR® is a traffic preemption and collision avoidance system used by cities and agencies to move priority vehicles through intersections more safely and efficiently.
How it works
1
Detect & identify
Priority vehicle or approach is detected and authenticated. Rules determine eligibility for preemption/priority.
2
Request & coordinate
A secure request is sent to the Controller Cainet unit with conflict mitigation and safe state handling. Rules determine eligibility for preemption/priority.
3
Clear & confirm
The intersection sequences to a safe, expedited green and confirms movement. Events are logged.
4
Exit & return
After the vehicle clears the intersection, the controller smoothly returns to the normal corridor plan.
Why agencies choose The Eliminator®
Built for day‑one impact and day‑3000 reliability.
Rapid deployment
Vehicle and intersection installations with minimal downtime. Use of cabinet mounted antennas at intersection eliminate the need for 3 man crew and a bucket truck. Can be done in as little as 20min.
Controller friendly
Designed to integrate with modern traffic signal controllers and typical municipal IT standards.
Operator approved
Consistently positive feedback from field users and dispatch—easy to understand, easier to trust.
Safety first
Conservative default rulesets prioritize safety, as well as security.
Scalable
Start with a corridor, expand as budgets allows. Central monitoring supports multi‑agency coordination.
Easily Maintainable
Maintenance done by Collision Control at regular intervals with extensive logging that supports after action review.

"In our opionion, the Eliminator is the absolute best EVP System currently available. The in-vehicle Collision Avoidance system and display is what seperates it from the others. It is poised to become the dominant EVP System".

City of Goshen, IN
Chief Dan Sink/Goshen Fire Dept.
"One of the things we really liked about the Eliminator was the affordability. With the screen in the vehicle and the staff being able to visually see the capture of the preemption, we didn't have to put in confirmation lights which is an added cost and an added maintenance fee from year to year. So, that cut our cost dramatically."

"Installation time is a fraction of what we've experienced with other preemption systems. It used to take the better part of a day to install and calibrate one intersection of their competitor's systems. With the Eliminator, we found ourselves finishing 2 or 3 intersections a day."

"Having the green light puts us at ease. I would buy it again, and I would recommend it to any department, big or small. We're a small department and we love it."

"The Eliminator is the most user-friendly preemption system I've worked with. The Eliminator is "Plug and Play" and by far the most advanced and reliable preemption product on the market today. Yet, not the most expensive."

Brent Graybill/INDOT Engineer
"Installation of the Eliminator is fairly simple. You install your antenna, pull the cable through to the cabinet, put the chip into the card and install the card. Then you can go to your vehicle and on the touch screen you can test all four directions from your vehicle without driving the intersection. If you have an optical system already, just unplug the card, install the Eliminator and both will work. No reprogramming needed. You are good to go. "

Chief Farley/Parker Dist. Fire Dept.
"As a Fire Chief, one of your things you're always thinking about is risk analysis and how to reduce that liability to the department, to your personnel, to the community. We went through a lot of different vendors, and when we got to Collison Control and the Eliminator, it just answered everything. To my fellow Chiefs, I would highly recommend the Eliminator from Collision Control. It's the one piece of equipment with you on every run, and beyond anything that we've found out there in our research."
