The Department of Transportation Immediate Office of the Secretary Transportation awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program (CFDA 20.941) to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC Southern Nevada). The purpose of this 18-month award is to improve intersection safety and efficiency, and reduce travel times for emergency response and transit vehicles in the Las Vegas area.

The funded activities include planning and prototyping a pilot project for a cloud-based signal timing optimization system that supports emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) and transit signal priority (TSP), and enhances safety using artificial intelligence (AI) video analytics at intersections surrounding University Medical Center and along the Charleston Boulevard corridor. The expected outcome is to leverage existing computer-aided dispatch/automatic vehicle location (CAD/AVL) systems to deploy traffic signal preemption for emergency vehicles without additional in-vehicle hardware or on-the-ground traffic signal equipment.
