Queensland Transport and Main Roads, Australia, were presented with the Hall of Fame award in 858 ITS Australia’s National Industry Awards in the local government category for their work on the emergency vehicle priority (EVP) project.
An intuitive intelligent transport system, the EVP technology is able to automatically interrupt normal traffic signal operations without human intervention, to provide a green light for emergency response vehicles to pass through - enhancing the safety of frontline officers and the community.
Reducing emergency vehicle travel times by up to 20 per cent, EVP will further aid the existing transport infrastructure and emergency response times, effectively saving more lives without increasing frontline officers or vehicle numbers.
