A US$6 million rollout of new traffic signal technology is to be rolled
out across Queensland, Australia, over the next four years to improve
travel times for emergency services vehicles, allowing quicker response
times to priority incidents across the state.
Emergency
vehicle priority (EVP) technology automatically interrupts traffic
signal operations to provide a green light signal to emergency response
vehicles when safe to do so.
A recent performance evaluation of EVP in the Gold Coast area has shown
that travel time for EVP equipped vehicles was reduced by 17-26%
compared to non-EVP equipped vehicles.
