Various embodiments include approaches for analyzing a set of travel pathways for a priority vehicle. In some cases, an approach includes: obtaining data indicating a location of the priority vehicle and a location of a destination for the priority vehicle; ranking each of a set of paths between the location of the priority vehicle and the location of the destination based upon a travel time for the priority vehicle along the set of paths; and sending instructions to vehicles on a highest-ranked path in the set of paths to initiate providing a right-of-way to the priority vehicle, wherein vehicles closer to the destination along the highest-ranked path are instructed to change a corresponding position prior to vehicles farther from the destination along the highest-ranked path.
