Know the Benefits of a Emergency Vehicle Preemption Device
Emergency Vehicle Preemption Device cuts off the normal traffic signal timing to give
a green light to coming emergency vehicles so that they can pass comfortably
through intersections to reach emergencies quickly and safely. EVP can help
reduce collisions by providing a red light to other car drivers that may cross
the way of the emergency vehicles. EVP permits the other drivers to upgrade
their awareness of emergency vehicles and warn them to yield the right-of-way
by increasing overall safety. It reduces the travel time for the emergency vehicle,
which helps improve the chances of saving lives if anyone is seriously injured.
EVP approaches and technologies: Basic systems make
use of zone detection. Equipment placed on the emergency vehicle sends out a
clear infrared signal at the intersection once the vehicle reaches a given
range. As soon as the traffic signal receives this message, it attempts to
modify its signal timing to give a green light as early as it can. Ideally,
technological limitations of the infrared emitter convey that intersection EVP
equipment can only be recorded if the vehicle's signal is detected. It cannot calculate
how far away a coming vehicle is or how rapidly it can reach. This can result
in the green light to appear either too early or too late.
More advanced EVP systems comprise wireless radios,
GPS vehicle-location equipment, and EVP requests. These transmit vehicles'
titles and approximate time to arrival details to the signal. This provides
more reliability and advanced notice. Also, the most advanced EVP systems
include cellular communications that connect emergency vehicles to the central
traffic signal system, which is across the emergency vehicle's path. EVP
is powerful with key routes that emergency responders use.
EVP Strategy benefits:
- It helps improve the safety by reducing
the emergency vehicle-related impacts at intersections.
- It also improves emergency vehicle travel
time to the incident scene and helps in supporting incident response and
management.
As any
emergency can arise, a fully equipped emergency vehicle must be carefully made.
