Lyt and Yunex Traffic’s intelligent traffic systems aim to improve emergency vehicle travel time in the US city by implementing a green wave approach.
Connected traffic technology solutions specialist Lyt is partnering with traffic systems provider Yunex to deliver next-generation emergency vehicle pre-emption solutions for the City of Seattle Department of Transportation (SDoT), and the University of Washington (UW).
As part of an approved grant for multimodal Integrated Corridor Mobility for All (MICMA) project, the companies will initially deploy Lyt’s solution for 32 signal intersections throughout the UW campus, with a future expansion to a total of 50 traffic signal intersections.
The deployment of Lyt and Yunex Traffic’s intelligent systems, which use artificial intelligence (AI), aims to improve emergency vehicle travel time to the two emergency responders (ERs) in the subarea by implementing a green wave approach (setting signals to green downstream to clear traffic on the path to the ER).
It will also integrate freeway data with arterial traffic signals to develop arterial timing plans that respond to freeway incidents and integrating freeway and arterial travel time data to provide alternative route travel times to drivers.
