Project Idea

An ambulance stuck in traffic could cost a life, so the project proposes a wireless system linking ambulances and traffic lights. When an ambulance nears an intersection, it would send a signal triggering the light to turn green and clear a path, potentially saving lives. While this could reduce sirens and help ambulances reach patients faster, coordinating multiple lights and preventing misuse present challenges to implementing such a system.

PROJECT IDEA

Motivation: A few minutes of an ambulance being stuck in traffic could prove costly to someone struggling for his life and cause the ultimate irrepairable damage. Proposal: Building a wireless communication system between ambulances and traffic lights. When the ambulance arrives within a threshold distance of the traffic lights it sends a wireless signal to the traffic light which causes it to turn green and all other dependent signals to change colour accordingly. This prevents a traffic jam situation along the path of the ambulance. Benefits: 1) If effectively implemented, this could prove to be a life-saving mechanism in many situations. 2) This could also significantly reduce noise pollution by lowering the need for a siren. Drawbacks: 1) The traffic signal which detects the approaching ambulance should coordinate with dependent traffic signals. 2) This system should not be misused for other purposes and must be properly licensed.
