Emergency Vehicle-Based Vehicle Detection Model

Introduction

As we all know that there are lots of issues of traffic violence is there in India. Not only general public but various government or emergency vehicles suffer a lot. Some- times due to lack of awareness and lack of responsibility, various accidental activities can also be done. Different road accidents in countries and mainly in India amounted to around 449 thousand in 2019. Each year, about three to five percent of the GDP of the country was invested in road accidents. About 70 percent of accidents involved young Indians. The country has about one percent of the global vehicle population but it accounted for six percent of the world's road traffic accidents (Statista, 2021). About 30% of deaths are caused due to delayed ambulance. Another Indian government data shows more than 50% of heart attack cases reach hospital late, which can constitute unavail- ability of ambulances too but majority of it is due to patients stuck in traffic.(Bhushan, 2021). The authors of one of the paper proposed a model to pass emergency vehicle smoothly. The model suggested having every vehicle RFID tag.(Bhushan,)

The RFID tag is static and placed on the vehicle. For reading RFID Tags the model has max232 and PIC16F877A system. When an ambulance is approaching the junc- tion, the model communicates to the traffic controller in the junction to turn ON the green light until the emergency vehicle passes. This system is also useful to find sto- len vehicles. It also lessens the manpower. It considers only one road of the traffic junction, and it should have longer range RFID readers (EShanthini. E & Sreeja., G 2016)

To protect this, we suggest here our proposed model for emergency vehicles. In our solution, the front and rear cameras are on the vehicle as described in figure.1. All other vehicles have RFID tags. Camera captures RFID tags of following vehicles. As we know that In India, to follow emergency vehicles or not providing way for emer- gency vehicles, there is a fine of 10,000 Rs. It is easy to find the vehicles which are not providing the way, but it is hard to find emergency vehicle followers. Our system recognizes those vehicles, scans their RFIDs, get the information, e-memo will be generated and send it to the vehicle owner.
