In case of emergency, professional emergency services should arrive at the point of destination as fast as possible. In urban areas, usually heavy traffic load and construction sites complicate the dispatching and coordination of emergency vehicles. Modern communication and information technologies continuously open up new possibilities, to bring emergency services safer and faster to their destinations. The paper presents research work on shorten the emergency trips of fire engines in Brunswick, Germany. The improvements focus on preemption of fire engines at traffic signals using ETSI ITS-G5 communication as well as route search based on historic GPS logs of emergency trips and current traffic parameters.
