Safer emergency care thanks to innovative mobility solutions
Be-Mobile and Ambulancezorg Nederland (AZN) have extended their partnership, guaranteeing Be-Mobile's Intelligent Priority service for all ambulances in the Netherlands for another three years. This extension marks three successful years of trust and innovation in emergency response technology.
Since the start of the partnership, AZN has relied on Be-Mobile's advanced C-ITS (Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) technology to deliver absolute priority at intersections. With this solution, ambulances are given absolute priority at intersections, minimizing delays and helping emergency workers reach their destinations faster and safer. With route-bound functionalities, such as creating a green wave within 90 seconds based on live travel time and speed, Be-Mobile provides a powerful tool for more efficient emergency responses.
Key Features of Be-Mobile's Intelligent Priority Services:
- Support for all priority use cases: Absolute priority for emergency services and conditional optimization for public transport.
- Route-bound functionality: Green waves are deployed across intersections reachable within 90 seconds, calculated dynamically using live vehicle speed and travel time.
- Robust route tracking: The platform continuously tracks vehicle positions via Be-Mobile’s route planner or external systems, detecting significant route deviations to ensure accuracy.
- Route nodes logic: Priority requests are triggered based on specific actions, such as passing designated streets, stops, or external triggers (e.g., vehicle doors closing). The platform integrates a wide range of systems to create customized priority flows.
- Broad operational compatibility: Deployed in Belgium, the Netherlands, and other regions with traffic lights connected via C-ROADS specifications.
The service is also fully integrated into Be-Mobile's Flitsmeister app, which alerts drivers to approaching emergency services in real-time. This increases safety for both patients and road users.
Proven Impact in Numbers
In the last 24 hours alone 295 unique ambulances requested priority at 466 intersections across the Netherlands. These figures illustrate the robustness of Be-Mobile’s technology and its critical role in enabling faster and safer emergency responses.
Technology Built for Versatility
Be-Mobile’s Intelligent Priority platform is designed for flexibility and scalability. In addition to its seamless integration with external systems, the platform’s ability to customize priority flows ensures it meets the specific needs of diverse use cases, from emergency services to public transport. It is operational in multiple regions, adhering to the C-ROADS specifications, ensuring compatibility across modern traffic management systems.
“This renewed partnership highlights the trust and collaboration we’ve built with Ambulancezorg Nederland over the past three years. We’re proud to support safer and more efficient emergency responses while continuing to innovate in mobility solutions.”
