High Priority Vehicles (HPVs) provide emergency services that require them to arrive at the service destinations without unexpected delays. Traffic regulations across the work emphasize this need by giving HPVs the highest priority on the road. However, prioritizing HPVs does not guarantee rapid emergency services in big cities, e.g., Surabaya, Indonesia, where roads are usually congested. In this paper, we present a smart navigation system as a mobile application that routes HPVs through the fastest paths to their destinations using Dijkstra’s algorithm. It also communicates with the traffic lights so that HPVs can preemptively control the traffic signals in order to reduce delays at the intersections. We implemented the application on Android OS and built a traffic-light controller unit, which enables the application to interact with the traffic-light system seamlessly. We validated the efficacy of the proposed system through extensive experiments in a simulated environment.
