| Abstract | Traffic congestion in urban areas poses serious obstacles to the unhindered flow of emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, that rely on immediate access to preserve lives. The current project proposes a new approach employing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and artificial intelligence (AI)-based object detection to dynamically manage traffic and provide priority in real-time to ambulances. The system detects an incoming ambulance 500 meters away through camera-based object detection, which is YOLO (You Only Look Once) model-based, thus enabling the early detection of emergency vehicles. Upon detecting an ambulance, the system automatically initiates traffic signal control actions to provide a smooth way for the ambulance by opening the traffic light green and blocking cross-traffic. The purpose is to minimize response time, intensify traffic management efficiency, and provide quicker emergency services, particularly in densely populated areas of cities. The system is based on the use of IoT devices placed on smart traffic lights and sensors, which help to facilitate free communication between the traffic management infrastructure and the ambulance. Automated path clearing in real-time ensures that the ambulances have a clear passage, even during rush hours, thereby maximizing emergency vehicle movement. |
