India has the second largest population in the
world. It is a fast growing nation. However, the emergency
response is not up to par with global standards. In medicine,
the ‘golden hour’ refers to the hour following a traumatic
injury during which if prompt medical attention is given to
a patient, the likelihood of prevention of death is highest.
This in turn means that an ambulance must be able to get to
its destinations as quickly as possible. Traffic flow
management is a major obstacle in today’s developed urban
cities. In the ever-changing nature of traffic flow, it is
imperative
to
provide
priority
to
ambulance.
In this paper, firstly the Indian ambulance scenario
is briefly discussed. The primary objective was to develop an
embedded electronic system that can significantly mitigate
the problem of ambulances getting stuck at traffic lights.
With this project, we have tried to improve the response
time of ambulance in urban area.
