In emergencies, every second is critical. However, heavy traffic and construction zones often hinder ambulances and rescue vehicles from reaching their destinations swiftly and safely. While sirens and flashing lights help emergency vehicles navigate traffic, crossing red lights can pose risks at intersections for other road users. So, how can we ensure these vehicles travel safely and efficiently?
The Emergency Vehicle Priority (EVP) system addresses this challenge by granting immediate green signals, overriding the current traffic light phase. In traffic engineering, a phase refers to the sequence of conditions allocated to pedestrian or vehicular traffic. By streamlining intersection control, EVP systems enhance safety and efficiency for both emergency responders and the public.
EVP systems significantly reduce the need for emergency vehicles to cross intersections against red lights, lowering the risk of accidents. By providing clear, unobstructed passage, these systems create a safer and less stressful environment for frontline emergency personnel. Emergency vehicles, including patrol cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and rescue vehicles, can respond swiftly to critical situations without compromising public safety.
A priority system works seamlessly with traffic controllers to optimize signal timing, ensuring emergency vehicles can pass through intersections without delays while minimally affecting other road users.
