Abstract

The main objective of real-time traffic signal management system (RTSMS) is to save the life of people using cost-effective system. The proposed system is a straightforward and effective operable framework for the real-time embedded emergency vehicle (EV) management applications. In everyday life, there is consistent issue to a crisis vehicle, for example, rescue vehicle, ambulance and fireman to go through traffic light since it was red and it’s exasperating the drive. This circumstance is frequently happening since resistance from a regular citizen, some of the time drivers don’t have an encounter with this circumstance so they will hang tight for the traffic light to turn green. The RTSMS coordinates with the driver and assistants him in a cleared a path by keeping up a vital separation from a deferment in the surge hour gridlock. In this work, a new architecture for the emergency vehicle management system using an embedded system is proposed. This system is used to communicate between EV and traffic signal control unit. The processing time between the signal turn and decision making can be minimized by using the proposed hardware. The proposed work is simulated and tested with real-time hardware with different operating conditions.
