Emergency Response/Pre-Emption cont’d
Stakeholders/Users
Benefits
Operators
·More efficient traffic flow
·Reduced rate of secondary accidents
First responders
oFaster response time
oMore effective deployment of resources. 
Risks
Signal timing conflicts may occur operating across regions where existing preemption systems are still active, where there may, or may not, be signal control via a Core System.

Vehicle manufacturers that may provide incomplete vehicle crash data.

Other Considerations

   Owner/Operator versus Participator
All of these benefits should be available where a Core System is already in place.  In the absence of another Core in the region, the rescue service may operate a Core to gain these benefits.

   Outstanding Questions
Can Core Systems change the paradigm for emergency response, especially near jurisdictional boundaries, with a new level of communication and potential for real-time asset management?
