INTRODUCTION
The vehicle traffic in cities has been exponentially increased due to a large
number of vehicles plying on the road. Due to this heavy traffic, often traffic jams
occur on roads because of which the emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire
engines get stuck in traffic which may be the cause for losing human lives.
Current traffic control systems are a static case wherein vehicles have to wait
for a predefined amount of time until the microcontroller switches the green light
for that lane. If the ambulance is stuck near to the traffic signal, then the traffic
police can give priority to the ambulance by giving necessary symbol or signs to
the vehicles so that the ambulance can get out of the traffic as quickly as
possible. Moreover, if the emergency vehicles are stuck in a lane far from the
traffic signal, the siren of the ambulance is unable to reach the traffic police, in
which case the emergency vehicles have to wait until the traffic gets clear or we
have to depend on other vehicles to move aside which is not an easy task in
traffic situations.
The project proposes a system in which the ambulance driver can control the
traffic signal using the web app developed. The ambulance driver can request the
traffic light to turn on green lights for the lane in which he is present. This way the
ambulance will be able to quickly skip the traffic and reach the destination as fast
as possible.
Problem statement:-
The design and implementation of this technique is directly targeted for traffic
management so that emergency vehicle on road gets clear way to reach their
destination in less time and without any human interruption.
With automatic traffic signal control based on the traffic density in the route, the
manual effort on the part of the traffic policeman is saved.
IMPLEMENTATION(input/output)
The system is divided into three modules. First module is a software module which
consists of android and web application. Second module is the ambulance
module(ESP8266)ambulance module will continuously tracking (communicate)
with vehicle , traffic signal and android and web application. Third module is
hardware module of traffic signal implementation.
Objective of project:-
Whenever medical emergency vehicles or ambulance reaches to the accident spot.
This information will be sent to the hospital's server for further processes. On the
way whenever medical vehicles halts at the traffic signal, the ambulance driver will
send emergency command to the server. Also the current GPS coordinates of
ambulance is also sent to the server. At the server, depending upon the co-ordinates
of the medical vehicles , the nearest signal is detected and the emergency
command along with the direction is sent to that particular signal. Depending on
the direction received from the server that particular signal is made green.
Application:-
An idea is proposed in this paper for saving patient’s life in a fastest way possible.
So whenever ambulance halts at the signal, the ambulance driver sends emergency
command to the server along with the GPS co-ordinates. The nearest signal is
detected and emergency command is send to the particular signal. Depending on
the direction received from the server that particular signal is made green.
Considering the real time scenario, the system is improved by embedding GPS
navigation system. So we can reduce the chance of death rate during emergencies.

MIT app inventor is a visual, drag-n-drop tool for building mobile apps on the
android platform. The Design Window, or simply designer is where we design
layout the look and feel of mobile app, and specify what functionalities it should
have. We can choose things for the user interface things like Buttons, Images, and
Text boxes, and functionalities like Text-to-Speech and much more[6].

One of the neatest things about App Inventor is that one can see and test your app
while you're building it, on a connected device. If you have an android phone or
tablet, follow the steps below. If you do not have a device, then follow the
instructions for setting up the on-screen emulator (opens a new page) and then
come back to this tutorial once you've gotten the emulator connected to App
Inventor.
The Blocks Editor is where we program the behavior of app. There are Built-in
blocks that handle things like math, logic, and text. Below that are the blocks that
go with each of the components in the app. In order to get the blocks for a certain
component to show up in the Blocks Editor, first we have to add that component to
your app through the Designer.

Arduino IDE:
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors
and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.
The microcontroller on the board isprogrammed using the Arduino programming
language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on
Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with
software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).Arduino is a
cross-platoform program. You’ll have to follow different instructions for your
personalOS. Check on the Arduino site for the latest instructions.

Once we have downloaded/unzipped the arduino IDE, you can Plug the Arduino
to PC via USB cable.
Now you’re actually ready to “burn” first program on the arduino board. To

Before we are able to compile and upload a demo example, we need to prepare
Arduino IDE to work with ESP8266 boards[9].
• Start Arduino.
• The only thing we need to edit here is the field called “Additional Boards
Manager URLs:”. In the blank space we need to provide a link to the .json file
which would add ESP8266 support to Arduino. By the time of writing the correct
address is:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
• Click “OK” to apply the changes and close the dialog window
• Now at the bottom of the selector Tools → Board you should see different
ESP8266 boards available[5] .
The NEO-6MV2 is a GPS (Global Positioning System) module and is used for
navigation. The module simply checks its location on earth and provides output
data which is longitude and latitude of its position.It is from a family of stand-
alone GPS receivers featuring the high performance u-blox 6 positioning engine.
These flexible and cost effective receivers offer numerous connectivity options in a
miniature (16 x 12.2 x 2.4 mm) package. The compact architecture, power and
memory options make NEO-6 modules ideal for battery operated mobile
devices with very strict cost and space constraints. Its Innovative design
gives NEO-6MV2 excellent navigation performance even in the most challenging
environments.

Brief Description
An LED is a two-lead semiconductor light source, which emits lights when
activated. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the LED terminal, then the
electrons are able to recombine with the electron holes within the device and
release energy in the form of photons. This effect is known as electroluminescence.
The color of the LED is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor.

CONCLUSION
Death due to ambulance delay is one of the important issues which are faced
by most of the countries in the world. During the emergency situation, the
Traffic signal switches to green and allows the ambulance to pass through the
road intersections. This method can help the ambulance to reach the hospital
with lesser time consumption. In critical situations, this system can help save
lives which would not have been possible otherwise.
