An emergency respondence warning system for warning of the approach of emergency vehicles at roadway intersections. The warning system comprises a transmitter mountable to an emergency vehicle and a receiver situated near the roadway intersection. As the emergency vehicle approaches the intersection, the transmitter sends signals to the receiver, which are processed by the receiver when the vehicle is within a predetermined distance. The receiver activates a distinct visual warning signal alerting nearby drivers and pedestrians of the approach of an emergency vehicle. The emergency respondence warning system also warns of the approach of multiple emergency vehicles. When the receiver determines that two emergency vehicles are approaching the intersection, it activates the warning element but triggers a dedicated visual signal indicating the approach of multiple vehicles.
An emergency respondence warning system, comprising:
The emergency respondence warning system of claim 12, further comprising a warning element mountable at the roadway intersection, wherein the warning element is adapted to produce a differentiated warning signal when multiple transmitters are approaching the roadway intersection and a differentiated warning signal when only one transmitter is approaching the roadway intersection.
The emergency respondence warning system of claim 13, wherein the receiver is adapted to activate the warning element as the plurality of transmitters approach the receiver.
A method of warning of the approach of emergency vehicles at a roadway intersection, the method comprising the steps of:
