Enhancing Emergency Response with Emergency Vehicle Preemption

Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) is a vital traffic management system designed to prioritize emergency vehicles at intersections by interrupting standard traffic signal timing. Using an Emergency Vehicle Preemption device, traffic signals can be adjusted to provide a green light for approaching emergency vehicles, enabling them to navigate intersections quickly and safely.


Key Benefits of EVP


  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of collisions involving emergency vehicles at intersections.

  • Faster Response Times: Improves travel times to incident scenes, supporting efficient emergency response and management.


How EVP Works

Emergency Vehicle Preemption uses an integrated combination of advanced hardware and software to facilitate seamless signal adjustments. By clearing traffic queues and pausing conflicting signal phases, EVP ensures a clear path for emergency vehicles, even in congested conditions. Real-time information exchange is critical to efficiently clear standing queues and provide priority when needed.


Post-priority, the system transitions traffic signals back to normal operation to minimize disruptions for other road users. Proper implementation ensures balance between emergency response efficiency and overall traffic flow.


The EMTRAC Advantage

For over 25 years, the EMTRAC system has been trusted across North America for its reliability and performance. It empowers first responders and firefighters to reach their destinations swiftly and safely, saving lives and reducing incident impact.
