Traffic control system for emergency vehicle

Project Title

Traffic control system for emergency vehicle

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Traffic light congestion normally occurs in urban areas while the number of vehicles is too many on the road. 

 Ambulance must wait for some minutes to hours to clear the traffic on the road. Which in turn causes delay to Ambulance and it causes loss of life. 

Normal traffic light systems operate on timing mechanisms that change the light after a given interval. 

Traffic control system for emergency vehicle , developing for Priority Based Signaling which helps to give the priority to the emergency vehicles.

Project Objectives

There is less need of human interaction to control traffic.

provide a smooth flow for the Emergency vehicles

Emergency vehicles reach their destination on time

Traffic congestion can be controlled automatically and saves lot of time.

Project Implementation Method

• HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION 

              Arduino Uno board: 

                             The central controller role is played by the embedded controller. Here, ATMEGA8266 controller is used, which is an open source electronics prototyping 8-bit micro-controller board running at 16 Mhz. Boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interface to various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits. The board also features serial communication including USB on some models.

This system consists of two parts; the first part is Radio Frequency (RF) Transmitter circuit and RF Receiver circuit.

Radio Frequency (RF) Transmitter circuit:

The Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver circuit is the main circuit in the system. The RF transmitter circuit has the transmitter module and encoder to send the signal to the RF receiver circuit.

Radio Frequency (RF) Receiver circuit:

The emergency mode sequence when it received RF signal from the emergency vehicle and change back to normal mode sequence. The advantage of using this device is the ability of the signal to pass through objects, low cost and can transmit the signal about 30 meters. The receiver consists of Radio Frequency module, four push buttons and LED indicators. A LED is connected to Micro controller, Micro Controller  will decode the data from transmitter. When the data was received from transmitter, micro controller will decode the data that which button is transmitted from transmitter. 

                            Push Button Switch:

                      A set of four push Button switches is used in the RF transmitter circuit. Each switch labeled with number 1, 2, 3 and 4 to indicate which traffic light at the intersection. These switches need to be push (switch on) to trigger the emergency sequence mode of the traffic light intersection .The other switch is reset button and on/off button. 

SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION

A. Arduino Software:

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards can read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output -activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

Benefits of the Project

 If it is fixed the ambulance will not wait for a signal in traffic. 

By this project the life is saved. 

Our future work would be to manage traffic for all the vehicles using cloud computing.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The emergency vehicles in different routes they transmit our location information to the controller .

The controller receives the data from the transmitter and convert red light to green.
