METHOD FOR IMPROVEMENT OF TRANSIT OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES BY USE OF BEACONS

摘要

Method for improving the traffic of emergency vehicles through the use of beacons, in which each emergency vehicle (1) has a TE (Terminal Equipment) (3) which can access a wireless access network (4) which manages the traffic improvement service. It also uses positioning beacons (6) placed at different spots of the road network (8), which communicate via radio to the vehicles travelling near them. Knowing the position of the emergency vehicle (1) when it goes by near a beacon (6), the network (4) informs of the its presence to the rest of the vehicles (7) with a TE (11) and some means (10) to determine the position, and which are located at a certain distance from said beacon, either on the same road (8) as the emergency vehicle (1) or on an adjacent road (9), so that said vehicles (7) clear the way for the emergency vehicle (1)
