Efficient management of urban traffic is crucial for public safety. The traditional fixed-timing traffic light system presents considerable challenges for the seamless movement of emergency vehicles, notably ambulances. To tackle this problem, our IoT-based solution consists of two essential hardware components: a signal-emitting device integrated into emergency vehicles and a signal-receiving device at traffic signal intersections. These components utilize wireless communication to enable continuous data exchange. On the software front, we’ve developed a sophisticated traffic management system that can receive and process signals from the signal-emitting device, allowing for real-time adjustments to traffic signal timings. Our primary goal with this system is to prioritize emergency vehicles, particularly ambulances, by dynamically altering signal timings based on precise vehicle location and direction. This innovative approach eliminates the need for manual traffic control intervention and greatly enhances the efficiency of emergency vehicle response within the urban traffic environment.
