AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC CLEARANCE SYSTEM FOR AMBULANCE BY USING IR AND ARDUINO UNO CONTROLLER

Abstract

The project aims to build a dynamic traffic signal system based on
traffic density, where the timing of the signal will alter automatically upon sensing the
volume of traffic at any intersection. It is time to move away from more manual mode
or fixed timer mode and towards an automated system with decision-making skills
because traffic congestion is a serious issue in the majority of cities throughout the
world. As the current traffic signalling system is time-based, it may become
ineffective if only one lane is in use. We have developed a framework for an
intelligent traffic control system in order to optimise this problem. When traffic is
heavier on one side of the junction, the typical permitted green period may need to be
extended. As a result, we suggest a system in which the duration of a green light and a
red light is determined by the volume of traffic that is present at the time. IR is
utilised to do this ( Infrared sensors). With the aid of the Arduino Controller, the
green light's shining time is determined once the density has been calculated
(Arduino). The roadside sensors that detect the presence of vehicles transmit that
information to the Arduino Controller (Arduino), which determines when to switch
the signal lights on or off and how long a flank will be open. We have outlined the
steps involved in using this framework in the sections that follow. Here, we're using a
wifi module to identify ambulances or other emergency vehicles; if the module
(ESP8266) receives information based on the driver's instructions, the green light at
the intersection should turn on.
