Abstract
Use of a mobile user device to identify the individual operating a vehicle, which, either alone or in conjunction with a vehicle control unit (VCU), may be used to establish vehicle priority in connection with traffic control systems. This provides for a system that provides priority for the individual based on their individual and current need for priority, as opposed to providing priority generally for a vehicle.
