Alpharetta, Georgia chooses the Israeli technology to provide safer, faster emergency vehicle response times.
When an emergency vehicle comes speeding towards an intersection, drivers know to pull over and give the ambulance or firetruck the right of way.
Israeli automotive technology firm Autotalks takes that one step further by sending a wireless signal from the emergency responder to the traffic lights so the signals will automatically change to stop cross traffic.
Autotalks has now announced a partnership with US-based Applied Information to test the Autotalks V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) system in Alpharetta, Georgia, where Applied Information has installed 150 smart traffic control signals over 78 square miles.
Chipsets from Autotalks will be installed in both the traffic signals and the emergency vehicles as part of the partnership.
