Abstract(in English) An emergency vehicle such as an ambulance and a police-car needs to travel to a destination as quickly as possible. As a field of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems), there is a lot of research on systems to support drive of emergency vehicles. Performance of such systems, however, has not been evaluated enough especially in urban environment. In this paper, we focus on the situation that an ambulance goes to a hospital via a traffic accident site in urban, and in this situation, we evaluate the effectiveness of emergency vehicle drive support based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications. We consider two types of schemes: in one scheme, an emergency vehicle broadcasts information on its location and velocity to prompt neighboring vehicles to avoid slowing down, changing lane, and entering intersection; in another scheme, an emergency vehicle floods information on its path to drive to prompt other vehicles to avoid using the path. Through simulation results, we confirm that the latter scheme shortens traveling time of an ambulance by 10.4% compared with the case of no support.
