IoT based Ambulance Prototype for Innovative Traffic Congestion Control System
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traffic congestion is a major problem in cities of developing Countries like India. Growth in urban
population and the middle-class segment contribute significantly to the rising number of vehicles in
the cities. Congestion on roads eventually results in slow moving traffic, which increases the time of
travel, thus stands-out as one of the major issues in metropolitan cities. This paper presents an
intelligent traffic control system to pass emergency vehicles smoothly. Each individual vehicle is
equipped with special radio frequency device. We use radio frequency (Rf)transmitter (Tx) and
receiver (Rx) modules at ambulance and traffic signal respectively. It monitors vehicles that passes on
a path during a specified duration. It also determines the network congestion, and hence the green
light duration for that path. If the ambulance passes through the path it switches on the green light
until it passes the signal area.
