TRAFFIC CLEARANCE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES USING PRIORITY MODE MR. M. NITHYAKUMAR1, P.ASWIN2, D. BHARATHI SHREE3, M.P.DHARMEESH4,M.

This scheme is fully automated thus it controls the traffic lights, helping to reach the hospital in time. This is not preferred only for ambulance. It is preferrable for other emergency vehicles such as fire engine. KEYWORDS: Other names for blue mode: Ambulance mode, Emergency mode, Priority mode. 1.INTRODUCTION: Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems. In India as the population is being increasing day by day the traffic is also increasing with proportionality. So the traffic signals need good coordination for the smooth flow of traffic during the peak hours .. Moreover road accidents in the city have been incessant and to bar the loss of life due to the accidents is even more crucial. In this fast moving world we are in a compulsion to rush our self which makes the traffic congestion and accident an inevitable one. In foreign countries, they successfully save human life, because whenever an ambulance comes they move aside to clear out the route till the ambulance passes through. On the other hand in INDIA, whenever an ambulance comes it is controlled manually at the traffic junction by a traffic officer. Nowadays all systems are working automatically. So, we proposed system called “traffic clearance for emergency vehicles using blue mode”. 1.1.MOTIVATION AND RELATED WORK: In early days, the traffic is controlled manually by police officer. They decide when the vehicle has to cross the road and also provide importance to the emergency vehicle. Then in Intelligent Traffic Management System, the traffic is controlled automatically by each lane 120 seconds of green light is set on. Before green light, yellow light flashes for 20 second, signifying to start your vehicle and be ready to go. The disadvantages of this system is it does not provide timing based on priority because of that people has to wait for long time even though there is no traffic and also does not recognize and prioritize the emergency vehicle.[1] They consists of two parts :wireless sensors network(traffic sensor nodes(TSN) groups) and a control box. In this they collected traffic data with help of sensors and control the traffic. [2] Describes the concept of traffic clearance in which the time delay (6s) between the switching of signals is based on the congestion of vehicle. In our project we use 10s for green light to be left ON. If the congestion increases this duration will be
