Sangju City, in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, held an interim report meeting on 21 October 2026 for a project to upgrade its emergency vehicle signal priority system, according to a report published on 25 October 2026. The project integrates automatic vehicle location (AVL) terminals used in the fire service’s dispatch system with the dedicated terminals currently installed in emergency vehicles. It applies the wide-area emergency vehicle signal priority standard distributed by the Korean National Police Agency in October 2025, linking the Sangju Traffic Information Centre, the police agency’s urban traffic information centre and the Gyeongbuk Fire Headquarters. Once the upgrade is complete, firefighters will be able to use signal priority with the AVL terminal alone, reducing the need to operate separate devices and enabling faster responses.
