Preemption and Priority Systems

Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) is a vital system that enables emergency vehicles—such as ambulances, fire engines, and police cars—to be given priority at traffic signals. This allows them to navigate through intersections while responding rapidly and safely to emergencies. This technology is crucial for reducing response times, enhancing safety for both emergency responders and the public, and improving the overall efficiency of emergency operations.

Applied Information’s Preemption and Priority System technology elevates these advantages significantly. The system ensures that emergency vehicles receive guaranteed access to green lights while the red lights for other traffic are automatically adjusted, clearing the way for swift and secure passage. By minimizing delays for emergency vehicles at intersections, this system saves lives and decreases the risk of accidents.

Applied Information’s Transit Signal Priority System (TSP) significantly enhances the reliability and efficiency of public transit systems by granting transit vehicles preferential treatment at traffic signals. Their innovative technology allows buses and other forms of public transportation to communicate with traffic lights, resulting in minimized delays and improved travel times for passengers. By prioritizing the movement of public transit vehicles, the TSP not only benefits commuters but also contributes to a reduction in overall traffic congestion, making urban environments more navigable and improving the overall quality of public transportation services.
