Smartly, reduce the latency of high-priority vehicles using loT technology

Abstract

In this article, an attempt has been made to use IoT technology to provide a solution to facilitate the transportation of emergency vehicles in the city. Prioritizing emergency vehicles in transportation systems has always been one of the needs of human societies today, and this need has been partially met with the help of some tools. Due to the increasing traffic in metropolitan areas, the need for a precise system to determine these priorities is felt more than ever. To this end, efforts have been made to increase the accuracy of decisions by increasing the available sources of information. Prioritization for emergency vehicles is possible in various ways, and in the meantime, prioritization of them at intersections has been considered. In this way, emergency vehicles will experience the least amount of delay when crossing intersections. Therefore, the system continuously and intermittently collects information about the emergency vehicle and its route. Based on this information, the system selects the best possible route for the emergency vehicle and then estimates the time it takes for the vehicle to reach the first traffic light along the route, determining the duration of each of those traffic lights.
