Abstract

Traffic congestion has become a critical issue in urban areas worldwide, leading to increased accidents and delays for emergency vehicles. This paper proposes a solution utilizing IoT-enabled technology to alleviate these challenges by implementing "Green Corridors" for emergency vehicles. By leveraging Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS), which integrate sensors, cameras, and data analysis, this research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of such systems in reducing congestion and improving road safety. A comprehensive evaluation framework will be employed to analyze the impact of ITMS implementation on traffic flow patterns and safety outcomes. The system utilizes UWB technology to identify emergency vehicles, triggering traffic lights to switch to green and notifying nearby vehicles to clear lanes, facilitating unimpeded passage for emergency services. This integrated approach addresses the dual challenges of traffic congestion and emergency response, offering valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners seeking effective solutions for smart city transportation management.
