IOT-BASED AMBULANCE ALERT TRAFFIC SYSTEM WITH TRAFFIC

DENSITY MONITORING AND CONTROL


INTRODUCTION:
Traffic congestion and delayed emergency services are significant problems
in urban areas. Ambulances often get stuck in traffic, losing crucial time.
Traditional traffic control systems lack flexibility and real-time data adaptation.
This project aims to solve both issues by integrating IoT, sensor-based vehicle
density monitoring, and emergency alert prioritization in traffic management.

OBJECTIVE:
 To prioritize ambulance movement using an IoT-based alert system.
 To monitor and control traffic density using IR sensors.
 To automate traffic signal control based on real-time vehicle count.
 To reduce human intervention and improve road safety.

ABSTRACT:
This project presents a smart traffic control system that integrates IoT
technology to provide ambulance priority at traffic signals and manage traffic
density in real-time. Using 8 IR sensors (two per road) for vehicle counting, traffic
density is monitored, and signal duration is adjusted accordingly. In emergency
situations, an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module receives alert signals from an ambulance
mobile app, allowing the system to immediately clear the route by turning all
signals red except for the ambulance path, which gets a green light. This ensures
faster response times for emergency services and reduces traffic congestion.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
 Uses fixed time-based traffic lights.
 No dynamic control based on traffic density.
 Ambulance clearance often relies on manual traffic intervention or sirens.
 High probability of delay due to lack of smart integration.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
 Smart traffic signals controlled via Arduino Uno.
 IR sensors to count vehicles and detect traffic density at each side.
 Dynamic signal timing based on real-time vehicle count.
 ESP8266 module to receive ambulance alerts from a mobile app.
 Automatic switching of signals to prioritize ambulance route.
 LCD to display traffic density or status updates.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
1. Each road has 2 IR sensors for vehicle counting.
2. Arduino Uno reads sensor data and calculates traffic density.
3. Based on vehicle count, traffic signals are controlled using red/green LEDs.
4. When an ambulance sends an alert through a mobile app, ESP8266 receives
it.
5. Arduino prioritizes the road on which ambulance is traveling and gives
green signal while others stay red.
6. LCD displays density info and ambulance alert status.

BLOCK DIAGRAM EXPLANATION:
 Each side of the intersection has 2 IR sensors to count incoming and
outgoing vehicles.
 Vehicle count data is sent to Arduino, which analyzes density.
 Based on density, signal timing is adjusted.
 ESP8266 receives ambulance alert via Wi-Fi.
 If an ambulance alert is received, the system overrides normal control and
gives the ambulance road priority by activating the green LED for that
direction.
 LCD displays density information and alert status.

ADVANTAGES:
 Fast response for ambulances.
 Real-time traffic density monitoring.
 Efficient and automatic signal control.
 Reduces human error and manual work.
 Can be scaled to multiple intersections.

APPLICATIONS:
 Urban traffic signal systems.
 Smart city projects.
 Emergency response routes.
 Traffic automation research and development.

CONCLUSION:
This project demonstrates how IoT and sensor-based systems can enhance
traffic control and emergency service response times. The integration of an
ambulance alert system ensures quicker and safer passage, while dynamic signal
timing based on traffic density optimizes overall flow and reduces congestion.

RESULT:
The system successfully monitors vehicle density, adjusts signal timing
accordingly, and gives priority to ambulances when an alert is received via the
mobile application.
