Development of Smart System for Ambulance

Traffic congestion becomes a major issue in densely populated metropolitan areas. India is the world’s second most populous country and has a rapidly rising economy. In the cities, there is severe traffic congestion. According to the Times of India, nearly 30% of deaths are caused by ambulances arriving late to the hospital. We are attempting to shorten the wait for the ambulance. To smoothen the ambulance movement, “Smart Ambulance” system is proposed in this paper. The proposed system allows to switch signals in the particular lane where the ambulance is present. RF module is used for communication. The system in the “Smart ambulance” is designed to activate when it receives a signal from an ambulance via radio frequency (RF) transmission, and Arduino is used to modify the sequence back to normal before and after the emergency mode is engaged. In second phase, a system is developed in which medical records are stored. This data will help the medical staffs to save time in the hospital to make necessary arrangements for the treatment of patients. The data can be retrieved by using unique fingerprint authentication. This generated data will be sent to the nearest hospital using GPS module. This paper proposes the system to save human life.
