Event Description/Abstract
This session discusses recent technology developments that allow collision avoidance systems to be integrated into emergency vehicle preemption and transit signal priority. This presentation will include a historic over- view of all preemption platforms (acoustic, optical, radio based, and GPS) as well as the benefits (including a 17%–25% response time decrease), drawbacks, and limitations that can be expected from each platform type.
