This study proposes an integrated driving control strategy by taking advantage of the automated driving technology at the individual\nvehicle level and the traffic signal preemption strategy at the traffic infrastructure level. This aims to facilitate an automated drivingbased\nemergency vehicle control and ultimately to achieve efficient and safe control of emergency vehicles. To this end, this study\ndeveloped the integrated emergency vehicle control logic, implemented the logic in the microscopic traffic simulation environment\nusing the simulation softwareâ??s application programming interface capability, and evaluated the impacts of the proposed emergency\nvehicle control logic in the aspects ofmobility and safety with different driving aggressiveness and preemption initiation settings..............................
