Zero Traffic for Emergency Vehicles

Abstract

The problem of urban traffic stoppage is invariably spreading. The increased traffic is due to the increasing number of vehicles and the limited expansion of the roads. We propose a system to reduce traffic congestion by using sensors to detect Ambulance. The system will detect through sensors instead of using image processing. We also plan to provide a suitable solution for emergency vehicles stuck in traffic to clear their way using the Ambulance indicator thus ensuring timely assistance to those in need. The main motto behind our project is to provide a smart way to control traffic lights and also to provide a smooth flow of ambulances to the hospital in time. We will be implementing a new mode called «ambulance mode» that will control the traffic lights on the road of the ambulance. The program is fully automatic so it controls the traffic lights, helping to get to the hospital in time. This is not just a priority for ambulances. It is preferred for other emergency vehicles such as fire trucks.
