ARDUINO BASED AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC CLEARANCE FOR AMBULANCE VEHICLE USING RFID

Electronics and Communication Engineering

Traffic congestion is the biggest problem faced by densely populated countries like India, China etc. In order to overcome the vital issues of vehicle congestion & time consumption in traffic signals, a new method using IR sensor technology is proposed. The prototype model was developed using IR sensors and Arduino RFID. A congestion control system is developed in such a way that it should be activated when it detect a signal from an ambulance based on Radio Frequency(RF). This work is implemented using Embedded C and is simulated in an Arduino processor kit. This application detects the traffic density by using IR sensors which are arranged on each side of the road. The traffic light controlled by using RFID tags. It is dependent on number of vehicles available on the road. The object detection sensor deployed at the traffic signal path measures the density of the vehicle on the road. Here, a RF Transceiver is used to pass an Ambulance immediately to avoid the queues in traffic. The particular path signal will changes to the Green signal, indicating the ambulance arrival which saves time and lives of people as well.
