Abstract: Fire brigade officers, health care personnel, police are often delayed due to traffic congestion, across major cities in India. Considering the predicament, Artificial Intelligence has the potential to enable us to solve such problems by adopting a number of unique perspectives and approaches, especially in this domain. The solution developed by us enables an emergency vehicle driver to select the route to reach the destination as quickly as possible. As cameras are deployed at most of the traffic signals today, especially in cities where traffic congestion is a major pain point, Video Analytics can be used for calculating vehicle count, which will be streamed and updated continually. We create effective algorithms to alter the time of the traffic signals based on this real-time vehicle count, the distance of the vehicle from the signal, the bearing angle made by the vehicle with the signal and also by making sure that the traffic congestion doesn’t increase exponentially and multiple emergency vehicles do not put the system in a deadlock. The loss of life due to accidents and the delay in getting the required treatment must be avoided. The designed system will automatically control traffic light intervals based on vehicle density. This solution will allow an emergency vehicle to reach its destination during emergencies, plying on the best possible route, in the most decongested traffic conditions, which will be facilitated by specifically developed algorithms. To save human life from accidents and unnecessary delays due to traffic congestion, is the main aim of our system.
