Priority Based Smart Traffic Control System For Emergency Vehicle

Abstract

Major problem that is being faced by everyone day to day is traffic congestion. Traffic congestion may occur due to many reasons few being poor infrastructure, uneven distribution of development. In developing countries, the traffic lights use fixed time concepts where the duration of lights are independent of the traffic density. This yields poor traffic control and severe traffic congestions. Nowadays the traffic control system is quite inefficient. There are many situations where the traffic in different lanes varies due to the timer-based signalling the less dense lane also need to wait for the set time. The main aim of this work is to first detect the presence of any emergency vehicle along with estimating the number of vehicles in each lane. Based on a smart traffic control system, priority is given to the lane with emergency and restoring the mode to normal and then prioritizing the lane with higher density.
