The city has added an additional 15 intersections to its existing emergency vehicle pre-emption (EVP) system, helping to provide faster incidence response times and increased safety.
When an emergency vehicle needs to navigate an intersection, Opticom onboard the emergency vehicle sends a request to the intersection’s controller ahead of its arrival. If the request is granted, the light turns green and the vehicle gets a clear path through the intersection.
