Emergency Vehicle Preemption

Emergency Vehicle Preemption — Faster Response. Every Condition.

When a fire engine or ambulance approaches an intersection, every second counts. Traditional optical traffic signal preemption systems (using infrared line-of-sight) can be blocked by bridges, overpasses, large vehicles, and any adverse weather condition — leaving emergency vehicles waiting for red lights during life-threatening emergencies.

The ELiMiNATOR® Solution

GPS + 900 MHz Radio — Not Infrared or Cellular

The ELiMiNATOR® Emergency Vehicle Preemption system uses GPS positioning and 900 MHz FHSS encrypted radio — not infrared or cellular — to communicate between vehicles and intersections.

The system operates:

  • Without line-of-sight — through buildings, around curves, in heavy rain, snow, and fog
  • Optional cellular — unaffected by network congestion or outages
  • At ranges up to 3 miles unobstructed — providing warning and preparation time
  • In all environments — urban grid, suburban corridors, rural highways
  • Immediately upon installation — zero learning period or zone pre-configuration
Simultaneous Protection

Collision Avoidance — Built In, Not Bolted On

The ELiMiNATOR® system does not only preempt traffic signals — it provides simultaneous collision avoidance alerts when two or more equipped authorized vehicles approach the same intersection from different directions.

Alerts are configurable with audible warnings and work even in rural areas with no traffic signals present. Departments define when alerts trigger based on distance and estimated time of arrival, allowing crews to adjust approach speed and coordinate with dispatch.
