Abstract Increase in traffic in cities makes emergency vehicles, like ambulance, to take more time to reach the destination from the source due to which the life of human beings are in danger. So, emergency vehicles, like ambulance and fire engines, require better traffic management for safe and fast travel to safeguard the lives of human beings. In this paper, a new method is proposed for the better management of the traffic of emergency vehicles through the use of internet of things (IOT). The proposed method enables the emergency vehicles to signal the traffic signal controller placed in the traffic junction regarding their arrival so that the traffic will be regulated. This system requires the users traveling in the emergency vehicle to signal the traffic controller hardware through the android application deployed in their mobile phones. We have also proposed the idea for an advanced system which controls the traffic automatically. Keywords IOT ⋅ Smart things ⋅ Embedded systems S. Tammishetty (✉) ⋅ T. Ragunathan ⋅ S.K. Battula ⋅ B.

1 Introduction Internet of things (IOT) define today’s generation briefly where things are connected to each other for exchange of some data. The physical devices may be anything around the world which consist of sensors, adaptable networks or anything which is used for data exchange [1–3]. IOT is the collection of smart things which communicate or exchange data in a much secured manner. The vehicle traffic in cities has been exponentially increased due to a large number of vehicles plying on the road. Due to this heavy traffic, often traffic jams occur on roads because of which the emergency vehicles like ambulance and fire engines have to get stuck in traffic which maybe the cause for losing human lives. In [4], the authors have suggested a manual technique by which it is possible to allow the emergency vehicles to pass through the traffic signals without waiting and hence the human lives can be saved. In this paper, we have proposed a technique which uses android-based application deployed in the mobile phone and the GSM module to be deployed in traffic controller hardware. In the proposed method, the android application deployed in the mobile phones of the users (who are traveling in the emergency vehicles) generates messages to the traffic controller hardware p
