 For drivers of emergency vehicles, intersections are accidents waiting to happen. In fact, intersections are responsible for the largest percentage of major accidents involving emergency vehicles. Visibility is often restricted. There may be many vehicles converging at once. Other drivers' actions can't always be anticipated. And all the while, the responder's adrenaline is pumping as he or she focuses on getting quickly to the scene.
Ellison Traffic Systems has the solution to this problem – Emergency Response Warning System (ERWS)
Imagine what would happen if every emergency responder could make sure other drivers knew they were coming – for sure – despite all the distractions of today's drivers?
Imagine if the street where an ambulance was traveling had flashing lights along both sides, and the signals were red in all directions, also with flashing lights. What would that be like?
That's ERWS |
