A. Pressure Sensors
The pressure pads (weight sensors) will be installed on the road; the sensors will be separated into two portions; if the first 50
meters are occupied by cars, the sensor will be regarded 50% occupied. If both portions of the road are fully filled that is another
50 meters, the occupancy indicator will read 100%. If there are fewer vehicles, the density will be zero percent.

B. ARDUINO MEGA 2560 microcontroller

At the traffic signal, there is a microcontroller. The current traffic signal status is likewise transferred to the cloud, and it receives
power supply from a voltage regulator.

C. Traffic Signal-
At each traffic signal, a set of LEDs (RED, YELLOW, GREEN) indicating traffic lights are connected to a microcontroller.

D. ESP 8266
The data from the pressure pads will be wirelessly sent to the cloud using an ESP 8266 wifi module. The wifi module is linked to
the traffic signal's microcontroller. The current traffic light status is likewise being sent to the cloud.

E. MOBILE APPLICATION-
The application interface will display the traffic density. The driver can then select the appropriate lane. By clicking the
emergency button on the app, the current traffic signal state will be changed to green the ambulance passes by.

A.ELECTRONIC POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

In order to provide adequate voltage levels for each circuit part, the power supply circuit is designed. It is possible to check the use,
to protect the controller circuit from over voltage peaks [3].The circuit has a power supply that converts the incoming AC vo ltage
to the DC voltage (5 V), voltage required by the pressure pads module. The voltage regulator IC7805 is linked to the
microcontroller's pin Vin for power.

B. ARDUINO MEGA 2560 microcontroller.-

The ATmega2560 is the foundation for the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board. There are 54 digital I/O pins, 15 PWM
outputs, and 16 analogue outputs on the board. This Arduino board is a microcontroller board that is free source. Because of the 4x
hardware serial, the Arduino Mega is chosen. The ESP8266 WiFi module can be directly plugged into the Arduino board's Rx/Tx
pins, or a voltage divider circuit too can be used to achieve 5 to 3.3V. On a software level, too Arduino is simple to connect to an
ESP8266.

C. Wi-Fi (Wireless Networking) ESP8266-

Wi-Fi is a well-known wireless network technology that uses radio waves to provide high-speed Internet and network connectivity
without any need for wires. To ensure that the internet is easily accessible on smart phones, the wireless acquired skills must not
only be new technology, but it must also be inventive and capable of solving problems, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency
for both owners and consumers[7].The ESP8266 hardware and subsystems are based on the ESP-12 module. It also offers you
access to GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) for development process. The ESP8266 module is designed to take use of such a
low-cost Wi-Fi chip.

IV SYSTEM SOFTWARE

Fig.3- Flow chart of software program (Blynk App.)

According to the Blynk website, Blynk is an Android and iOS platform that can run a variety of hardware modules, including
Raspberry Pi, Arduino, NodeMCU, and over 400 others. Furthermore, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Cellular, USB, serial, and Bluetooth are all
viable options for connecting the hardware module device to the internet. Blynk allows users to create many applications and use them
to control multiple connected boards tethered to a device with internet connection from anywhere in the globe using a Smartphone
(Todica, 2016)[6]. The Blynk App's GUI (Graphic User Interface) on the Smartphone is very basic and user-friendly, allowing users to
add widgets that they want to use and control them [7].

V APPLICATION USER INTEFACE

Install the Blynk application on a mobile device and sign in with your email account and secret phrase. Create a new project and add
the features that the project requires. The authentication key will be generated by the software and sent to the registered email id. Using
that key, enter it into the software program along with the Wifi name and password that the ESP8266 will be using to connect to the
internet. The data from the pressure pads will be uploaded to the cloud via the Wifi module, and the cloud and the Blynk Application
will be linked due to the authentication key. The host will generate a QR code that will be transmitted to the ambulance drivers, and the
ambulance drivers will be able to scan it and access the system.

Fig.5- Application User Interface Layout

SECURITY – The QR code will only be issued to registered ambulance drivers by the system's host. To ensure that ambulance
drivers have access to the host system, the access should be ON at all times. If something goes wrong, the host can terminate the
connection, and the drivers will be unable to access the system.

ADVANTAGES - 1) This system can be used at each signal on the way to the hospital so that the ambulance does not have to stop
anywhere along the way due to traffic.
2) This device should also be made available to traffic cops so that they may manage automobiles ahead of time before ambulances
arrive at the square.

VI CONCLUSION

We have effectively assembled and tested the plan outlined through the paper. The objective of giving mobility to the ambulance
through the traffic can be achieved using a mobile phone and cloud computing. The framework is easy to understand and simple to use
without any intricacies that is user friendly. After some preliminary research and fact-checking, we came to the conclusion that, rather
than IR and other sensors, pressing factor cushions or pressure pads would be a good fit for the task of vehicle detection presence. The
project would reduce the risk of postponement due to traffic congestion on the streets and allow people to stay on schedule away from
postponing treatment. While working and conducting testing, we discovered that this framework is more open than we had anticipated.
It can also be used by traffic cops in heavy traffic, emergency situations, or when a VIP vehicle passes by. Finally, we can state that this
project is self-explanatory and that we are free to allude to and forward our work in order to make further advancements on this
assignment.

VII FUTURE SCOPE

We can use a variety of sensors to ensure that the traffic density is accurate. Using GPS to acquire continuous traffic data by following
the position of vehicles. PC vision has a significant advantage above other traditional automobile estimating technologies. NodeMCU
can be used in place of the Atmega 2560[8]. It is a high productivity and greater visual information; video picture preparation can be
used instead of other fixed sensors. We can create a new structure for the rescue vehicle board that is in sync with the traffic executives
and set up a new control room.
