  2. Traffic signal preemption and priority play pivotal roles in optimizing traffic flow by adjusting signal timing to prioritize specific vehicle types such as emergency vehicles, buses, streetcars, light rail, trucks, or trains. The distinction lies in the purpose each serves. Signal Priority allocates extra green time for larger transit vehicles like buses and Signal Preemption swiftly grants a green light to emergency vehicles, trains, or light rail. www.emtracsystems.com

  3. In the case of Signal Priority, the focus is on enhancing the efficiency of larger transit vehicles, providing them with extended green time at intersections. This ensures smoother movement for buses, light rail, trucks, and streetcars. On the other hand, Signal Preemption takes a more assertive approach, taking full control of an intersection. Upon activation, it promptly turns all signal lights red, except for the direction in which the emergency vehicle, light rail, or train is moving. This decisive action ensures unimpeded progress for the prioritized vehicle type. Preemption takes precedence over signal priority, effectively terminating any ongoing extended green light in favor of the vehicle requesting preemption. Beyond streamlining traffic, preemption significantly enhances safety by halting all other traffic, including vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and providing a clear path for emergency vehicles, trains, or light rail.

  4. Both priority and preemption rely on specialized equipment installed on vehicles and at intersections to communicate with the traffic signal system and request preemption or priority. For those interested in implementing a Transit Signal Preemption (TSP) program, the EMTRAC system offers reliable solutions. Elevate your traffic management with a sophisticated TSP system that enhances efficiency and safety on the roads. www.emtracsystems.com
