542 Global Traffic Technologies (GTT) is to supply the city of Green Bay in Wisconsin, US with its Opticom GPS-enabled emergency vehicle pre-emption solution at four key intersections in the city. Opticom works alongside intersection controllers to provide priority to emergency vehicles at intersections.

The Opticom solution is multimode, working with both the new GPS-enabled/radio technology, as well as areas that still use infrared signalling technology. When an emergency vehicle needs to navigate an intersection, the Opticom system on-board the vehicle sends a request to the intersection’s controller ahead of its arrival, which requests a green light, clearing a path to expedite the vehicle’s passage.
