A Traffic Signal Preemption Device is a cutting-edge solution designed to give emergency vehicles priority at signalized intersections. The Emtrac System’s advanced preemption technology temporarily overrides regular traffic light patterns, allowing fire trucks, ambulances, and police vehicles to move through traffic safely and without delay. This system plays a vital role in reducing emergency response times. When an emergency vehicle approaches an intersection equipped with the Emtrac preemption system, the traffic signal transitions to green for the responding vehicle, while safely halting cross traffic. This controlled preemption not only clears a path through congested roads but also minimizes the risk of accidents at intersections. Unlike basic signal priority systems, Emtrac’s Traffic Signal Preemption Device provides robust and reliable performance. It instantly overrides existing traffic sequences—even during long green cycles—ensuring that emergency responders don’t get caught behind red lights when seconds matter. Key Components of the Emtrac Traffic Signal Preemption System: • Vehicle Components: Installed in emergency vehicles, these components communicate wirelessly with intersection hardware to request green lights. • Wayside Components: Located at signalized intersections, these devices receive the vehicle’s request and adjust the signal phases accordingly. • Configurable Software: This intuitive platform monitors the system’s performance, configures preemption rules, and provides system diagnostics. • This intelligent, AI-driven system not only makes emergency travel faster and safer but also improves public safety by reducing the time it takes for responders to reach those in need. • The Emtrac System is engineered to integrate seamlessly into existing traffic infrastructure and can be customized for a variety of city layouts and emergency response protocols.
