The present disclosure provides a number of techniques for automation of traffic control devices with vehicles. A centralized traffic control server can identify vehicles, establish priority levels for vehicles, and control the states of traffic control devices to prioritize travel of the vehicles. The identification can be based on visual information or electronically transmitted information. Furthermore, the centralized traffic control server can use organizational data and event data to help determine a priority for occupants of particular vehicles. Finally, distributed traffic control servers based on intersections or groupings of intersections can be deployed to automate control of individual traffic control devices at each traffic intersection.
