INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AMBULANCE

Abstract

This paper deals with the effective use of wireless technology and high speed micro controller to provide smooth and clear flow of traffic for emergency vehicle to reach the destination on time. This is implemented by using ARDUINO, RFID reader for detecting the RFID tag placed in the emergency vehicle. The information on detecting the emergency vehicle is sent to the traffic system through RF transmitter and receiver system, for automatically controlling the traffic light until the emergency vehicle passes through. Pair of IR sensors is used to estimate the congestion near the traffic and this information is provided to the ambulance driver using GSM. In addition to this scheme, the system also detects the stolen vehicle passing through that path. On detecting the stolen vehicle the information is sent to the control room through GSM for immediate action.
