Real-time Emergency Vehicle Route Display

Abstract

REVRD is a real-time emergency vehicle route display system that enhances road safety by alerting drivers to active emergency routes. It receives live routing data from emergency vehicles' in-built GPS during emergency runs and processes this data to detect active routes near drivers, triggering visual and audible alerts. The emergency vehicle's route is overlaid on in-car and smartphone navigation displays, prompting timely driver actions to clear the path. REVRD integrates seamlessly with existing platforms via standardized APIs and supports diverse communication protocols, including cellular, wireless, and satellite. By leveraging existing technologies in emergency vehicles and third-party systems, the invention minimizes additional hardware, reduces traffic congestion, and improves emergency response efficiency. Its scalable, modular design is adaptable to various environments, making it ideal for municipalities, GPS service providers, and navigation application developers.
