The Future of Ambulance Detection: Towards Safer Roads and Smarter Travel

 

In urban traffic, detecting an approaching ambulance is often left to the driver’s ability to hear sirens—an unreliable method in noisy, congested environments. For something as critical as clearing the path for emergency vehicles, this is not enough.

This presentation explores how Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication can give drivers early, accurate awareness of approaching ambulances by transmitting real-time location data. We will discuss the challenges of reliable communication, vehicle positioning, and how to present this information visually in a way that drivers can act on instinctively.
