| Resource Title | Comparative Analysis of Emergency Response Vehicle Prioritization Methods Across Varying Levels of V2X Integration and Traffic Congestion |
| Date Issued | January 2026 |
| Abstract | Emergency Response Vehicles (ERV) are one of the most vulnerable road users because of the speed that they travel at. The emerging technology, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), offers intelligent solutions to prioritizing ERVs through vehicle traffic. The related work showed that across all the simulated ERV Prioritization methods, using V2X technology improved travel time. However, there have been no studies that exhaustively compare and compound such methods. This work observes the performance of prioritization methods under different levels of V2X integration and traffic congestion. In addition to travel time improvement, road safety and traffic disturbance were also measured. The results show that V2X-based ERV Prioritization yields up to 1.6 times faster trip and safer journey with up to 210s2 reduction in TI-TTC as it reduces obstructions on the road. Increasing the prioritization distance from 30 meters with traffic light priority to the entire route with Route Blocking also increased the performance for travel time and road safety. However, having too large of a prioritization distance, as with the case of Route Blocking with the infinite priority distance, negatively affects NPV travel times as they experience more waiting time, leading to more congested system. This work introduces the framework to characterize the performance of ERV prioritization methods specific to the road network to find the optimal implementation in accordance to road and network conditions. This framework was applied to the Manhattan Grid and East Ave., Quezon City. It was found that while Clearance Distance method proved to be the most optimal for Manhattan Grid, the Adaptive Preemption was the optimal method for East Ave. |
