Research Abstract	This research focus attention on emergency life-saving transfer. First, Highway is focused on the inter-city transport of undeveloped. As an analysis result, slowdown point was confirmed to be signal intersection. One of the factors, the influence of the signal control that only emergency-vehicle receives will be considered.Next, I was focused on a narrow road in semi mountain area. Result of comparing the passenger car and ambulance, speed characteristics were found. Case of ambulance is slow speed, 5m less than road width, and less than 20m radius of curvature.Last, the target of this research is the establishment of emergency life-saving transfer system evaluation method. In this paper, I build to demand forecasting of emergency life-saving transfer. And, I have tried to build to the emergency life-saving transfer time required calculation model.
