AmbuClear: RFID-Based Traffic Signal Control System for Ambulance Priority

AmbuClear is a smart traffic management system designed to provide emergency lane clearance for ambulances using RFID technology. This system uses RFID tags mounted on ambulances and RFID readers at traffic signals. When an ambulance approaches a junction, the RFID reader detects the tag and sends a signal to the Arduino-based controller, which automatically switches the traffic light to green for the ambulance lane and red for all other directions.

The system ensures a hassle-free and delay-free passage for emergency vehicles, reducing response time and potentially saving lives. The use of RFID enables wireless, contactless detection, making it reliable even in poor weather conditions or low visibility.

AmbuClear offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for urban and rural traffic systems aiming to prioritize emergency vehicles without relying on manual traffic control. It represents a practical application of IoT and embedded systems in smart city infrastructure.
