Improved traffic detection to ensure only vehicles clearly ahead and travelling in the same direction react, preventing opposite-direction traffic, motorway chaos, and unnecessary pile-ups.

Changed

Same-Direction Detection Significantly strengthened the requirements for a vehicle to be considered relevant traffic before any yielding behaviour is applied.

Vehicle Direction Validation Vehicle direction is now checked more strictly using both directional alignment and heading differences to better distinguish same-direction traffic from oncoming traffic.

Side and Behind Traffic Reduced the influence of vehicles beside and behind the emergency vehicle, ensuring the plugin focuses primarily on traffic clearly ahead.

Traffic Detection Tightened overall traffic detection to prioritise only vehicles that are clearly relevant to the emergency vehicle's direction and path.

More Selective Yielding Yielding behaviour is now more selective, helping reduce unnecessary reactions, braking and chaotic traffic situations.

Improved

Motorway and Dual Carriageway Improvements Version 2.2.1 specifically targets issues with traffic on the opposite carriageway incorrectly reacting to emergency vehicles. This helps prevent unnecessary braking, sudden reactions, motorway chaos and pile-ups caused by vehicles that should never have been affected by the plugin.

Fixed

Opposite-Direction Traffic Reactions Fixed an issue where traffic travelling in the opposite direction could incorrectly react to the emergency vehicle, particularly on motorways and dual carriageways.

Oncoming Vehicle Detection Improved detection of oncoming vehicles to prevent them from being incorrectly identified as traffic travelling in the same direction.

Cross Traffic Reactions Reduced unwanted reactions from vehicles on nearby roads, junctions and crossing traffic.

Pursuit Lock-Out Reliability Further improved pursuit lock-out behaviour to reduce unnecessary traffic interference during active pursuits.
