Abstract:

Emergency vehicle operation is a dangerous part of the job for public safety agencies, such as police, fire, and emergency medical services. Signalized intersections are particularly dangerous, and they require responders to slow or stop and proceed cautiously when facing a red signal. Emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) changes the traffic signal indication to green for an approaching emergency response vehicle, while promptly displaying a red signal to drivers who may cross the emergency vehicle’s path. This interruption of the normal traffic signal operation enhances safety and reduces response time for an approaching emergency response vehicle.
