Optimal Solution for the Smooth Movement of the Emergency Vehicle at the Time of Heavily Congested Traffic Using Traffic Signals and Light Detection
Abstract
This paper is
proposed with an idea to recognize the emergency vehicle especially the
ambulance using the emergency lights emitted from the beacon lights of the
emergency vehicle and to control the traffic light. Ambulances are usually
identified by the siren sound but in some cases where the drivers in the closed
car couldn’t hear the sound properly and also there exists confusion in the
lane in which the ambulance is arriving. In some cases, the siren is turned off
in order to reduce the tension on the patients. The proposed system would
provide a solution for this problem. This system uses a sensor that detects the
blue and red lights emitted from the beacon of the ambulance at a distance from
the traffic signal in order to clear out the congestion on the road and to
provide a faster movement of the emergency vehicle to serve the patients in
need of emergency. The advantage of using this system is that lights have
greater wavelength and it is easy detected from a distance. We conducted a
survey at different times of a day and also at different climatic situations to
study the wavelength of the beacon lights.
