Arduino Based Congestion Control System for Ambulance

Abstract

Abstract: Congestion problem is a fact which contributed large impact on the transport system in the country. because many problems especially when there are emergency cases at traffic light junctions which are always busy with so many vehicles. A congestion control system is designed in order to solve all these problems. This system was designed in such a way that it should be activated when it receives a signal from an ambulance based on radio frequency (RF) transmission and uses a microcontroller to change the sequence back to the normal sequence before the emergency mode is activated. This system will lessen what often happens at the traffic light intersections because other vehicles have to gather together for giving a special route to an emergency vehicle. As a result, this project is successful and the implementation of wireless communication i.e. the radio frequency (RF) transmission in the traffic light control system for emergency vehicles like an ambulance is made possible. The main aim of this project is to design a system that is capable to identify an emergency situation in an ambulance and automatically controls the traffic at the signal. In the future, this system can be improved by controlling real traffic congestion, in fact improving the present traffic light system technology. The existing traffic control system has a lot of limitations because of its fixed time method used. The traffic signal will not alter based on the real-time traffic on road near the junction of two or more roads. Due to this, the traffic congestion cannot be controlled efficiently and the utilization of roads cannot be done to its maximum limit.
