Traffic Control System For Emergency Services

Abstract

Traffic congestion is major problem in cities of developing countries like India. Growth in urban
population and the middle-class segment consume vehicles 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 be notable as one of the
major issues in metropolitan cities. Emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire trucks need to reach their
destinations at the earliest. If they spend a lot of time in traffic jams, valued lives of many people may be in danger.
We aim to propose a system which will help emergency vehicle to pass without any congestion. In this project, we will
send the location coordinates i.e. latitude, longitude and direction, diatance to the database via mobile application
which will be operated by the authenticated operator. Raspberry Pi will fetch the information from database and it will
examine aspects of the information fetched from database and turn the specific signal to green which will help
emergency vehicle to pass without any obstacle.
