Enabling improved emergency response via a vehicle flow buffer

A system for improving traffic flow for a responder vehicle for improved emergency response via a vehicle flow buffer comprising:

• a traffic flow server comprising hardware of a processor able to execute computer program instructions for implementing functions to:
• communicatively link, via a network comprising hardware, the traffic flow server to a computing device of a responder vehicle and to a set of computing devices of a set of motor vehicles, wherein the communicatively linking occurs as the responder vehicle and the set of motor vehicles travel along a roadway, wherein the computing device of the responder vehicle, and the set of computing devices each comprises hardware of a processor able to execute computer program instructions for implementing functions;
• establish at the traffic flow server, that the responder vehicle is in route to or from an emergency;
• establish at the traffic flow server, a flow profile for the responder vehicle, said flow profile defining a speed, direction, of the responder vehicle and defining a flow buffer for the responder vehicle, wherein said traffic flow server continuously receives updated information over the network as the responder vehicle and the set of motor vehicles travel along the roadway, which is used to continuously update the flow profile;
• determine at the traffic flow server, a traffic flow congestion incident associated with a segment of the roadway-experiencing in traffic flow congestion caused by the set of motor vehicles impeding travel of the responder vehicle along the roadway;
• convey a notification from the traffic flow server to each of the set of computing devices responsive to the determining of the traffic flow congestion, wherein each notification alerts a respective one of the motor vehicles that receives the respective notification to temporarily adjust speed, position, orientation, or two or more of speed, position, and orientation of that motor vehicle on the roadway in order to maintain the flow buffer around the responder vehicle and to permit the responder vehicle to travel along the roadway without experiencing congestion that would occur but for the respective motor vehicles making the temporarily adjustments per the respective notifications.
