Intelligent Ambulance and Traffic Control

Abstract

The growth of industrialization and urbanization has led to an immense increase within the population invariably resulting in rise within the quantity of vehicles on road. Due to heavy traffic, an emergency vehicle stuck in traffic is unable to cross the signal due to poor traffic signal controller.This paper represents the unique feature which is very useful to ambulance drivers to take an alternate route in case of congestion. The various presentation evaluation criteria are average waiting time, average distance travelled by vehicles, switching frequency of green light at a junction, effective emergency mode operation and satisfactory operation of SMS using GSM Mobile. The performance of the Intelligent Traffic Light Controller is compared with the Fixed Mode Traffic Light Controller. It is observed that the proposed Intelligent Traffic Light Controller is more efficient than the conventional controller in respect of less waiting time, more distance travelled by average vehicles and efficient operation during emergency mode and GSM interface. Moreover, the designed system has simple construction, fast response time, user friendliness and scope for further expansion
