Emergency Vehicle Preemption Expansion
Description
This project will expand the installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre–emption (EVP) technology to improve emergency response times along arterial signalized corridors to the scene of an incident. Systems require the installation of hardware on emergency vehicles and at signalized intersections to facilitate the request from vehicle to intersection in the field. Opportunities exist for potential cost sharing with public transit agencies, who could leverage field–based hardware to communicate transit signal priority requests, which are less disruptive to traffic operations than traffic signal pre–emption requests from emergency vehicles.
