Low cost traffic control system for emergency vehicles using ZigBee

The proposed system is for emergency vehicles, which are in lane filed with traffic. By using ZigBee, a protocol is developed for vehicle-to-vehicle communication to inform the presence of the Ambulance (or other emergency vehicles) to vehicles in lane and finally to traffic lamppost. The proposed system will provide solution for the problem of ambulance clearing the lane due to traffic at critical situation. The main problem in today’s scenario is increasing traffic congestion due to many reasons and always it is critical to handle during most emergency conditions. Therefore, we are defining a communication protocol between vehicles to interact with traffic control unit so that the ambulance entering lanes gets cleared.
