Multiple Intelligent Control Strategies for Travel-Time Reduction of Connected Emergency Vehicles

Published in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, vol. 26, no. 1, pp. 337-353, 2024

This paper proposes intelligent control strategies for reducing the travel time of connected emergency vehicles in urban traffic.

The framework combines path planning, signal preemption, and predictive decision-making to improve emergency response while limiting disruption to surrounding traffic.
