Prioritized ViU Departure at Traffic Intersection Using Internet of Things

Abstract

If the emergency vehicles such as police van, ambulances, fire extinguishing pumps get stuck in extremely busy traffic, may cause loss of estate along with property as well as human lives. Traffic congestion may be root reason behind a series of significant issues. The continuous increase in vehicle traffic in every urban area can cause drastic traffic congestion at intersections. Most of the traffic signals seem fixed green light glow sequence and is determined without taking into consideration the presence of the vehicle-in-urgency into account puts adverse impact on the economy as well as on human lives. Inefficient traffic regulation system leads to loss of lives due to ViU get stuck in heavy traffic. In emergency situations, when any ambulance could thoroughly break the wall of road traffic congestion and taking out the patient safely to the destination will be a great surprise, isn’t it? Here we have tried to implement dynamic traffic signaling. We proposed timing difference method to give priority when two ViUs are arriving at the same time. The system can able to give priority to one of the ViU (e.g., ambulance or fire brigade) arrived at the same time at lanes of an intersection.
