  • This study analysed the center control emergency vehicle preemption[EVP] test result on the 1.782 km section around Gangbuk Fire Station. The pros and cons between center control and site control EVP was compared through the review of existing research. The test site was selected based on the higher link speed for choosing low congested area and 4 to 6 lane road. EVP operates green extension under the estimated arrival time to each intersection. This study is about EVP system field application and its evaluation by analyzing EVP operation result with the emergency vehicle's trace, GPS data. The impact on the surrounding traffic was analysed in delay from the queue length survey. Analysis showed the decrease in averge travel time 41.81%, but the increase in delay of surrounding traffic slightly. It is expected that EVP can be applied to the expanded area by researching EVP compensation scheme.

  • Emergency Vehicle Preemption(EVP) is an operation method which helps to improve response condition of Emergency Vehicle(EV) and it has not yet been introduced in Korea. In order to implement the system, it requires step-by-step plan and selecting a priority area for trial operation. Since a municipal government such as Seoul is too large so it is limited in time and cost to analyze the whole area. Therefore, quantitative and effective selection method for priority area is critical. The aim of this study is to propose a selection method of implementation area for EVP system using the dispatch data analysis. This study also determined the priority area for EVP implementation by analyzing the dispatch data in Seoul and conducted a simulation to evaluate the effects of implementing EVP.

  • It is important to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles for quick responses in disaster situations, such as fire, rescue, and first aid. This study proposes plans Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) based on the analysis of emergency vehicle operation to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles and increase driving safety. The emergency vehicle dispatch statistics, emergency vehicle traffic accident statistics, and survey were used for the analysis. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of dispatch of emergency vehicles and traffic accidents are increasing gradually, but the rate of securing the golden time of emergency vehicles is approximately half, indicating that improvement measures are urgent. In the questionnaire survey, most citizens consent to the necessity of introducing EVP. In addition, the criteria for the range of emergency vehicles that could provide EVP and the allowable time for waiting were derived. These results could be used to prepare EVP operation strategies, and it is expected to contribute to improving emergency vehicle operation safety and increasing the golden time securing rate through a rapid expansion of EVP.

  • In this paper, we have developed the system of emergency vehicle preemption signal control based on UTIS(Urban Traffic Information System) which have been deployed and operated in the national capital area. It considered the turning direction(through or left turn) of emergency vehicle at the signalized intersection in order to provide the consecutive progression of emergency vehicle and minimize the control delay of passenger cars. we adopted several EVP control modes such as phase insertion and phase adjustment mode. Also, we evaluated the possibility of field implementation via simulation analysis using CORSIM RTE(Run Time Extension) based HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation). We expect that the result of this research contribute to providing the right-of-way to emergency vehicle in this country.
