On approaching crossings, traffic light control signals are triggered via cellular/mobile communication on time, enabling faster emergency rides. The emergency vehicle’s position is tracked every second and position is transmitted automatically to AM.COM web server.

AM.COM webserver calculates all possible routes the emergency vehicle could take and logs on to all possible traffic lights, which could be reached within the next few seconds/minutes.

As soon as a traffic light is likely be the next, the AM.COM server reduces/extends the standard traffic light phases in a way, that emergency vehicle can pass the traffic light when beeing “green”. As AM.COM switches to “green” a few seconds before the emergency vehicle reaches the traffic light, there should be no traffic jam or cars in front of the emergency vehicle.

As soon as AM.COM emergency vehicle has passed the traffic light, the traffic light will be switched to standard mode again.

There are no roadway sensors / vehicle detectors necessary for AM.COM to operate properly.

Real-time emergency rides may be watched and recorded via AM.COM web server for analyses.

Due to modular concept and application of open source protocol grants an easy and frabrication-neutral retrofitting of traffic control systems. AM.COM on-board unit is easy to integrate into blue light bar.

Functionallity and positive acceleration effects have been proven in a project, located in the traffic environment of federal hospital at Vöcklabruck/Upper Austria.
