EMER-GO: real-time grip enhanced speed advisory for emergency intelligent transportation systems

Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) is a service that can be beneficial for emergency vehicles, such as ambulances or firetrucks, as it can help them to cross intersections in a short time. However, a wrong or late advice (e.g., due to bad road conditions or unexpected high load) can be hazardous in terms of safety. In this paper, we propose to integrate GLOSA with the road and tire grip evaluated in real-time. The solution has been implemented in a platform for emergency intelligent transportation systems, named EMER-GO, and tested on the road. Isolation tests have been performed as well, to check the capability of state-of-art containerization solutions to withstand unexpected stress loads on the same onboard unit.
