Smart traffic signal and routing systems for emergency vehicles

Abstract

The increasing population ratio in cities and the increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic due to this population also brought problems with the transition of emergency vehicles such as ambulance and fire brigade. The aim of this study is to present solutions for problems with traffic congestion in vehicles with transit superiority in an emergency. It is also intended to provide wireless communication between traffic signaling lights in operation and visual warning monitors used in designated locations and emergency vehicles. When the route is determined via the mobile device on the emergency vehicle, the traffic light and the predetermined locations are communicated and the other drivers in the traffic will be alerted in an audible and visual manner. Since these alerts will make in advance in the area where the traffic intensity is, traffic accidents would be resolve and the emergency vehicles would be continue without losing time.
