TRS is a tool to supplement the existing response procedure for volunteer emergency responders. It allows a responder to quickly indicate their response to an incident without resorting to slow and unsafe practices such as making a phone call or sending a text message while in the process of responding. Once the response to an incident is submitted, TRS will automatically determine the driving time to the organisation's base station in the background at regular intervals and transmit this to the TRS server so duty officers can determine in real-time when responders will arrive.
TRS requires a server process to be available to users.
