“Traffic signal preemption transmitter” is a device that helps in the traffic signal’s phase time or sequence that can be changed or modified. Ideally, Preemption systems can efficiently decrease response times for vehicles in emergencies. Many studies suggest a 20 to 55 percent reduction in response times and a 70 percent reduction in emergency vehicle crashes. These changes have significantly affected the results of medical emergencies, and there has been considerably improved traffic safety.

Preemption systems are made in a way that they can help emergency vehicles to reach where they need to go with minimal intervention by automatically changing traffic light signals to let them pass through. But unfortunately, many of the preemption systems being used have outdated technologies that slow down the response times and even endanger the life of other drivers.

Ø  Improving Preemption with New Technology: Cellular and radio technologies are becoming very popular to overcome the shortcomings of optical and infrared solutions. When they merge with GPS, emergency vehicles can work out their entire route right away after receiving a call, and they can change traffic lights well in advance to clear out obstructions and make sure the vehicle’s safe movement to their destination.

Ø  Remote Monitoring & Reporting: New Preemption systems include dead-reckoning-enabled cellular and radio technologies and special features that cannot be found in competing preemption systems. Some preemption systems also include built-in cabinet monitoring to ensure they’re functioning normally and will be aware of the right people when something isn’t working.

Since the optical and infrared technologies developed, the traffic signal Preemption systems have come long way decades ago. The newest preemption systems, like GPS, cellular, and radio technologies, can help clear traffic well beforehand and dramatically lessen emergency response times.
