Abstract
Various methods are proposed for the practical use of ITS. We achieve the detection of emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines by measurement which uses a spread-spectrum method. We propose a method in which another vehicle and the signal can detect the position of emergency vehicles. This method transmits different code spread-spectrum signals from the four corners of emergency vehicles. As a result, because the direction from which an emergency vehicle approaches is understood, evasive driving becomes easy for securing the traffic road, and signal control also becomes easy. As a result of experiment an excellent detection result was obtained
