Description
This service package supports automated vehicle location and dynamic routing of emergency vehicles.

The Emergency Management Subsystem provides the routing for the emergency fleet based on real–time conditions and has the option of requesting a route from the Traffic Management subsystem. The Emergency Vehicle may also be equipped with dedicated short range communications for local signal preemption and the transmission of alerts to surrounding vehicles.
