Governments (MAG), for a pilot of LYT.emergency, the company’s emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) solution. LYT harnesses the power of a single secure edge device installed in a traffic management center, enabling emergency vehicles to speak directly to networked traffic signals through the LYT.speed cloud platform.
The pilot will initially be launched through MAG’s Emerging Technology Program for the corridor along South Kyrene Road and continuing onto West Baseline Road, just a few miles from the Phoenix Convention Center.
LYT.emergency will be deployed in collaboration with Safety Cloud® by HAAS Alert, with the goal of improving emergency vehicle safety and travel times by intelligently adjusting traffic lights to clear traffic along their path. Signals are adjusted based on real-time congestion.
Tempe Fire Department vehicles are equipped with HAAS Alert devices, which provide response information for LYT’s green light technology. HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud collision prevention solution delivers real-time notifications from active emergency vehicles to nearby motorists over cellular networks. Emergency vehicles equipped with Safety Cloud can communicate directly with LYT’s EVP solution. This partnership will enable public safety fleets to deploy true preemption capabilities in any vehicle, making emergency response and roadways safer throughout Tempe.
“A reliable emergency vehicle preemption solution plays a critical role in protecting Tempe,” said Tim Menard, CEO and Founder of LYT. “Implementing a state-of-the-art preemption system is not just a technological upgrade; it’s a commitment to the livelihood of this community.
By clearing the path for first responders, we’re improving critical response times. This is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a matter of life and death.”
