Emergency Response Time (ERT) is a crucial indicator of an emergency provider's success. ERT of Emergency Vehicles (EVs) is significantly impacted by traffic congestion, especially at junctions with traffic signaling systems. ERTs for emergency providers in Malaysia are still lagging behind international standards and practices adopted by advanced countries. This paper firstly aims to review the achievement of ERT in Malaysia. Secondly, the factors that affect EV response time are discussed. Thirdly, this paper also explains that the conventional EV priorities system in Malaysia cannot solve the traffic congestion problems affecting EVs and further reviews current research to address the problem. The issues with current research are highlighted in this paper, and the prospect for future research is identified with the proposal to enhance the EV priorities system in Malaysia to improve ERT.
