Smart Traffic Control Approach For Emergency Vehicles

Abstract

Traffic congestion problem is a phenomenon which contributed huge impact to the transportation system in our country. This causes many problems especially when there are emergency cases at traffic light intersections which are always busy with many vehicles. A traffic light assistance system is designed in order to solve these problems. This system was designed to be operated when it received signal from emergency vehicles based on radio frequency (RF) transmission and used the Programmable Arduino Atmega 328 microcontroller to controls the LEDs used in the traffic signals. The use of hazard LED in the system which helps the emergency vehicles to pass the traffic easily. This system will reduce accidents which often happen at the traffic light intersections because of another vehicle had to huddle for given a special route to emergency vehicle. As the result, this project successful analyzing and implementing the traffic assistance system for emergency vehicles.
