Abstract
Increase in traffic in cities makes emergency vehicles, like ambulance, to take more time to reach the destination from the source due to which the life of human beings are in danger. So, emergency vehicles, like ambulance and fire engines, require better traffic management for safe and fast travel to safeguard the lives of human beings. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the better management of the traffic of emergency vehicles through the use of internet of things (IOT). The proposed method enables the emergency vehicles to signal the traffic signal controller placed in the traffic junction regarding their arrival so that the traffic will be regulated. This system requires the users traveling in the emergency vehicle to signal the traffic controller hardware through the android application deployed in their mobile phones. We have also proposed the idea for an advanced system which controls the traffic automatically.
