2. Accessible Pedestrian Signals Let us get more information about these Accessible Pedestrian Signals and Systems that help improve pedestrian safety. Bicycle Detection App Pedestrian Detection App The Bicycle Detection app gives traffic controllers apt information about the bicycles and motorcycles at crossings. The detection app runs on the rider's mobile device. It is used as an indicator to notify corresponding traffic controllers so they follow the appropriate conditions for the given directions. At many places, pedestal fatalities constitute a larger share of overall traffic fatalities. It is essential to reduce casualties. The pedestrians can carry the sensing device and intersection controllers to get the phasing request for the chosen direction. When at the intersection, a pedestrian can easily choose the desiredcrossing route. 2

3. Priority Management Systems Advantages & Capabilities of Traffic Priority Management Systems Traffic Priority Management Systems can lessen congestion on highways or roads by bringing together traffic flow sensors, data analysis, and communications technologies. Capabilities include: • Centralized traffic monitoring • Public transportation information with presumed wait times for buses • Manual/automated updates to traffic signals • Incident/Event monitoring and emergency response • Road Weather Information System (RWIS) monitoring • Highway Advisory radio • Manual/automated updates to ramp metering systems • Predictive traffic modeling • Predictive traffic modeling helps traffic engineers design improvements to road infrastructure post analyzing the data. Advantages & Capabilities of Traffic Priority Management Systems 3

4. Automatic Vehicle Location Systems Automatic Vehicle Location Systems (AVL) for Transit: With EMTRAC AVL (automatic vehicle location), equipped buses automatically transmit location and activity data to network-connected EMTRAC detectors in wayside cabinets. This data is displayed on central workstation monitors, showing vehicle movement on a map in real-time. It is also recorded in detailed logs for later review. Advantages & Capabilities of Traffic Priority Management Systems The vehicle and wayside components used for this system are the same as those used for basic EMTRAC EVP/TSP functionality, making it both a simple and cost-effective way to implement an accurate and reliable AVL system. 4

5. Emergency Vehicle Preemption Device Read on as we discuss why is it essential to Implement Emergency Vehicle Preemption Emergency vehicle preemption allows for a considerable reduction in response times. The system allows emergency vehicles along the U.S. to pass through high-volume crossings quickly with fewer conflicts, saving few seconds per intersection. Advantages & Capabilities of Traffic Priority Management Systems The system can reduce the number of emergency vehicle crashes - which is around an average of 2.3 crossing crashes per year & less than one crossing crash every five years. With reduced stoppages at signalized crossings, cities can reach the exact response times with fewer rescue and EMS stations than would ordinarily be required, rendering notable cost savings. 5

6. Transit Signal Priority Difference Between Traffic Signal Priority & Preemption Today's blog would revolve around Transit Signal Priority and Traffic Signal Preemption and the primary difference between the two. Advantages & Capabilities of Traffic Priority Management Systems The primary difference between Transit Signal Priority and Traffic Signal Preemption is that signal priority changes the normal signal operation process to help transit vehicles better. The Emergency Vehicle Preemption limits the regular process for rare cases such as countering the fire engine or nearing a train. Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is a back-end plan that facilitates in-service transit vehicles, like cars or buses, through traffic-signal controlled intersections. 6

7. Traffic Signal Priority The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: ⦿Transit vehicle detection system ⦿Traffic signal control system ⦿Transit/traffic management center The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: The difference between TSP and Traffic Signal Preemption for Emergency Vehicles is that there is more reliable control signal priority adjustment to the usual signal operation process for transit vehicles. At the same time, Preemption obstructs the standard process for special events such as approaching trains or responding to fire engines. 7

8. Traffic Signal Priority The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: ⦿Transit vehicle detection system ⦿Traffic signal control system ⦿Transit/traffic management center The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: The difference between TSP and Traffic Signal Preemption for Emergency Vehicles is that there is more reliable control signal priority adjustment to the usual signal operation process for transit vehicles. At the same time, Preemption obstructs the standard process for special events such as approaching trains or responding to fire engines. 8

9. Traffic Signal Preemption Primarily, in most applications, traffic signal preemption is limited to emergency vehicles. Usually, a vehicle equipped with a preemption device will use it when approaching a red signal to change the signal to green immediately. There is a particular range of around 1500 feet for a mobile infrared transmitter. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: 9

10. Bus Signal Priority Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is a Advanced Traffic and Bus signal Priority Management Systems or mechanism to provide special treatment and reduce dwell time to transit vehicles such as bus, rapid transit vehicle, railroad car, water vehicle, municipal vehicles, law enforcement and fire safety vehicle at signalized intersections. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: Transit Signal Priority system requires some hardware equipment vehicle detectors and specialized traffic signal controllers. 10

11. Traffic Signal Preemption Device The Emtrac's Traffic Signal Preemption Devicemakesit more manageable and reliable for emergency vehicles to reach residents in need by clearing the traffic ahead of them. It gives them green lights at intersections and makes all other traffic securely to a stop. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: It comes with three different parts - ⦿vehicle components, ⦿wayside components, ⦿and the software that configures and monitors the system. 11

12. Traffic Light Preemption Device EMTRAC System is considered as one of the best Traffic Priority Management System provides safe passage for emergency and first response vehicles as well as reduces dwell time, ensure priority or preemption for municipal vehicles and public transport vehicles by deploying traffic light preemption devices at intersection points. The EMTRAC deploy Traffic Light Preemption Device at transit points that are managed by Priority Management Software. EMTRAC Priority Management System consists of three major components. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: ⦿Vehicle Components ⦿Wayside Components ⦿Priority Management Software 12

13. Traffic Signal Preemption for Emergency Vehicles The difference between TSP and Traffic Signal Preemption for Emergency Vehicles is that there is more reliable control signal priority adjustment to the usual signal operation process for transit vehicles. At the same time, Preemption obstructs the standard process for special events such as approaching trains or responding to fire engines. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: 13

14. Traffic Signal Preemption Transmitter Today's blog would revolve around Transit Signal Priority and Traffic Signal Preemption and the primary difference between the two. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: The primary difference between Transit Signal Priority and Traffic Signal Preemption Transmitter is that signal priority changes the normal signal operation process to help transit vehicles better. The Emergency Vehicle Preemption limits the regular process for rare cases such as countering the fire engine or nearing a train. 14

15. Emergency Vehicle Preemption Device Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) Device : Driving cautiously on the road saves your life as well as others. The sudden facing of an emergency vehicle can change the track of other vehicles as individual driver's maneuvers might get confused and create conflicts that can cause emergency vehicle crashes or block lanes increasing response times. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: Using Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) to provide emergency vehicles a green light at crossings can lessen driver distraction, needless conflicts and improve emergency response times. 15

16. Pedestrian Detection System Pedestrian Detection System Components: Pedestrian signals are machines used at signalized crossings to inform pedestrians when it is secure to cross the path. With improved technology, this Accessible Pedestrian Signal System includes countdown timers into their framework that display the count of seconds remaining before the signal changes to "Don't Walk. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: 16

17. Accessible Pedestrian Signal System An Accessible Pedestrian Signal System can be programmed with custom messages with the details of the street names and crossed streets. When the pedestrian walk signal switches on, vibrates, and can also get custom walk message during the walk phase. The three-segment of a network-based TSP system are: Mobile Device & App: We can install it in mobile devices providing secure communication with crossings through the firewall-protected data center. The app communicates through either touch or visual instructions, or verbal commands. It also modifies to diverse languages, articulations, and speech clarity. 17
