CAR 2 CAR Communication Consortium: Approaching Emergency Vehicle Warning

Emergency-Vehicle-2-Car Communication
When it comes to situations affecting the safety of lifes
every minute and every second is crucial. Road users are
obliged to make way for emergency vehicles (EVs) like
ambulances or police cars and in practice are also willing
to do so. However, hearing the siren does not always
give information about the emergency vehicle's location
and direction early and precise enough to allow a proper
reaction.
The Approaching Emergency Vehicle Warning -- CAR2CAR
system uses information provided in the Cooperative
Awareness Message (CAM) of the EV to help the driver
on how to clear the road for the emergency vehicle even
when the siren and lightbar may not yet be audible or
visible.
The Situation on the Demo track
While the vehicles are driving along the road an emergency
vehicle (EV) approaches from behind. As the lightbar
and siren are turned on, the driver/rider of the other
vehicle will be advised to stop at the road side to let the
EV pass by.

[ITSNDS]

Cooperative ITS units in vehicles offer their functionalities for all vehicle classes, e.g. private cars, trucks, busses, emergency vehicles, public transport. The video shows only some use-cases as an example.

[ITSNDS]

Cooperative ITS units will be installed in all (new) vehicles and supports the drivers in critical situations to react in the right manner. In their vicinity the cooperative Cars will exchange messages between each other as well as with cooperative roadside units. The driver will be informed or assisted only when necessary. The cooperative functionalities are enabled anywhere independent of the road classes.

The citizens in the rest of the world are only obliged/advised to follow and may not be forced. More so in the narrow crowded roads built on existing lanes. Low Speed on city roads Vs High Speeds on the Autobahns is the question here?

You forgot Fire Tenders besides Ambulance and Police.
