What is 'repeat' traffic?
'Repeat emergency traffic reports' refers to multiple 911 calls about the same car accident or traffic incident. In busy areas, many people might call to report the same event, tying up emergency lines. The AI system aims to filter these duplicate calls once the incident is already being handled.
