Emergency vehicle prioritization is important to the efficiency of emergency services. To address certain challenges in emergency vehicle prioritization, we perform microscopic simulations of an intelligent transportation system, where emergency vehicles broadcast certain information about their routes to nearby vehicles and traffic lights. Our study shows that broadcasting the route information can help reduce the response time of emergency vehicles significantly. In certain case, travel time of emergency vehicles can be as low as 37.1% of that of non-priority vehicles.
