1. Introduction
Traffic congestion is only one of the numerous issues the world is experiencing as a result of rising
population and a rapid increase in the number of automobiles. In developing nations like India, the rate
of road construction is just a third of the rate of vehicle growth. Statistics indicate that while the
number of vehicles is currently growing annually by about 11%, the amount of new roads being built
each year is still only about 4%. Increased traffic congestion has a wide range of implications.
Through delayed services (such as ambulance and fire services), fuel waste, and unfavourable
environmental effects, congestion impedes economic progress. Everyone must be able to get where
they are going quickly.[1][3] However, the majority of them don't really leave early to be there sooner.
The main cause of fatality in ambulances is this.
The emergency car must navigate a number of city traffic lights. The ambulance must spend more
time in traffic to get to the hospital if the number of vehicles in a given region is at its peak for a
longer period of time.[10] The presence of an ambulance in a certain traffic lane is not detected by the
timer-based traffic control system that is currently in use. When an ambulance is present, the local
traffic authorities in that region will be aware of it and will adjust the traffic signal to allow the
ambulance to pass through road intersections. This setup is ineffective.
2. Proposed System
The major goal of the suggested Model is to avoid having the ambulance become trapped in traffic.
There is a chance that the patient will die if the ambulance gets stuck in heavy traffic.[5] This system
can be used to reduce traffic congestion.[7] In this research, we provide a wireless communications-
based intelligent traffic management system that can relieve traffic congestion.
3. Working principle
The working part has three modules namely-emergency vehicle section, traffic section and
finally the destination section. The working of this project is an application is designed which is to get
the accident spot or the location to be communicated to the ambulance driver, which would give the
list of nearest hospitals in and around the surroundings
Figures 3 depict the installation of RF receiver tags before 1 km and 750 m of the signal so that
whenever the ambulance with the RF transmitter reached the rfid coverage, the traffic light would
automatically turn to green to pass the signal without any delay. This will help clear traffic jams prior
to the arrival of the ambulance. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio
waves to connect with tags or labels that are attached to items. In this case, an RFID transmitter is
being used. [6] In this proposal, emergency vehicles have RFID tags affixed to them to identify them
and activate traffic signals to allow the vehicles to pass through traffic easily. RFID READER WITH
ULTRA HIGH FREQUENCY The primary element used in this project is seen here.[9] The RFID
reader gets a signal from the transmitter and uses it to locate the RFID tag that is affixed to the
emergency vehicle. The Arduino microcontroller is used to regulate the traffic signals and create a
clear passage for the emergency vehicle to pass through after the RFID tag has been identified
4 Conclusion
The primary purpose of the proposed system is to manage signals in favour of emergency vehicles.
When the traffic intensity along the route is supported by automatic traffic signal regulation, the
human labour of the traffic policeman is decreased. Since the entire system is automated, little human
interaction is necessary. The hospital will receive a text message on the patient's health so that
treatment plans may be formed, which can enable the ambulance arrive at the hospital without any
delays and on time. Ambulances and fire trucks, among other emergency vehicles, must reach their
destinations as fast as possible. If they spend a lot of time in traffic, several people's lives, which may
be in danger, may also be in danger. The traffic signal turns green as soon as an emergency vehicle has
passed the intersection..
