System Operations

  • GPS based vehicle location
  • Bus issues a Priority Request (EMTRAC System)
  • Traffic Signal Controller system grants or denies request
  • Request approvals:
  • Lower priority than Emergency Vehicle Preemption
  • Does not cancel a pedestrian cycle
  • Extends the green interval (no more than 10 seconds)
  • Can shorten the red cycle for an early green
