Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP): Then vs. Now
|
Past concerns regarding Emergency Vehicle Preemption:
- EVP always breaks coordination
- Applies long dwell intervals
- Controller only can do first come, first served
- Controllers can only handle one approach at a time
Current EVP utilizing Opticom and current solutions such as Econolite's EOS3:
- EVP is accomplished as an ETA based request, then can release as soon as Opticom's GPS's tracked vehicle passes through intersection
- Controller such as EOS tries to adjust splits without breaking coordination (EOS constantly estimates out 2 cycles, allowing for executable changes when a preempt request is heard. Returning to coordination in 2 cycles or less)
- Vehicles are pre-categorized prioritizing by traffic and the departments as to which are served first
- Opticom software tracks all equipped vehicles within an Opticom equipped intersection's range to determine categorized vehicle's preemption

GiveMeGreen!
Bicycle X-to-I and I-to-X Traffic Signal System
Sensys Networks Inc. is deploying an innovative new smartphone app for bicycle detection at signalized intersections.
GiveMeGreen! is the first of many connected and autonomous traveler apps developed by Sensys Networks Inc., the world’s leading provider of integrated wireless traffic data systems for Smart Cities.
Sensys Networks has developed a unique platform that sends infrastructure based information to travelers and relevant traveler information to the infrastructure in secure and valuable ways. The solution leverages communications capabilities available with existing smartphones along with a few basic hardware devices.
This innovative system starts with the
GiveMeGreen! smartphone app which allows the bicyclist using the app to be automatically detected up to 300 feet in advance of the intersection. The traffic agency determines how that detection input is treated in their system. For example, if the bicyclists are crossing at the crosswalk, the system can treat the detection like the push of a pedestrian-crossing button. If the bicyclists are in the roadway, they can be treated like other vehicles or given an extension to provide adequate time to cross. Signs can be added to the system to provide safety information to vehicles and bicyclists regarding dangerous potential collision points.
The
GiveMeGreen!
bicycle application from Sensys Networks will:
- Provide secure two-way communications between the controller and smartphone
- Rely on low-latency wireless communications that require no special hardware on the smartphone, only the app
- Include an edge gateway communications approach
- Provide the precise location of a cyclist using both GPS and a location-specific Bluetooth device
- Create virtual detection zones and 'triplines' specifically for bicyclists that place the calls to the traffic signal controller
- Support two-way communications, so the cyclist will be informed of their detection and the state of the signal
This exciting new application will improve bicyclist travel times and improve safety with respect to potential vehicle-bicyclist conflicts.
