Intelligent Traffic Management System with Adaptive Signal Control and Emergency Vehicle Prioritization

Abstract

Abstract: Efficient traffic management is essential for ensuring smooth flow and minimizing congestion on roadways. In this project, we propose an Arduino-based solution that utilizes IR sensors for real-time traffic monitoring and signal timing adjustment, coupled with a Bluetooth module to prioritize emergency vehicles during critical situations. The IR sensors are deployed at intersections to monitor vehicle presence, enabling real-time traffic monitoring. The Arduino Uno microcontroller processes the sensor data and dynamically adjusts signal timings to ensure smooth traffic flow. Additionally, a Bluetooth module facilitates communication between the traffic management unit and ambulance vehicles, triggering an alert signal to clear the way for emergencies. The system's adaptability allows for easy integration into existing infrastructure. Results indicate improved traffic efficiency, reduced congestion, and enhanced emergency vehicle response times
