Towards the Development of a Decision Support System for Emergency Vehicle Preemption and Transit Signal Priority Investment Planning
… signal controllers capable of integrating emergency vehicle preemption and transit priority operations. However, investment planning for such an integrated system is not a trivial task. Investment planning for such a system requires a holistic approach that considers institutional, …

Assessing the Performance of an Emergency Vehicle Preemption System: A Case Study on U.S. 1 in Fairfax County, Virginia
… control systems have been deployed to provide emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) at signalized intersections. Industry and transportation researchers have worked to develop analytical methods to establish the degree of benefit of emergency vehicle preemption to the emergency vehicle (EV) …

Analysis of the characteristics of emergency vehicle operations in the Washington D.C. Region
Concerns about increased emergency vehicle response times in the Washington D.C. Region, especially during peak periods, have led to the implementation of signal preemption systems to facilitate the efficient and safe movement of emergency vehicles. However, to date only limited research has been …

Using the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram to Characterize the Traffic Flow in Urban Network
… flow operation is improved. In this thesis, the emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) operation is also evaluated by using the MFDs. The concept of MFD can help to illustrate the effect on various types of roads due to EVP operation. The results show that the volume of links along the emergency …

A Framework and Analytical Methods for Evaluation of Preferential Treatment for Emergency and Transit Vehicles at Signalized Intersections
Preferential treatments are employed to provide preemption for emergency vehicles (EV) and conditional priority for transit vehicles at signalized intersections. EV preemption employs technologies and signal control strategies seeking to reduce emergency vehicle crash potential and response times. …
