Abstract

Traffic light is an important system today. This is due to the increasing use of transport of in a country that needs a traffic light system that can control traffic congestion. For emergency vehicles is it so difficult to overcome, when there is an emergency matter on busy junction with vehicles heading to their destinations. Besides that, the special lanes are not provided for emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire brigade and police when the traffic light in the red condition. To overcome this problem, a new system designed to solve the problems which occur driving emergency on the road. By using Arduino Uno and GPS from mobile phone using android application, it will make it easier to control traffic lights for vehicle emergency (ambulance) upon the occurrence of an emergency. The system would made red traffic light green if the emergency vehicle (ambulance) in range of detecting the position of the emergency vehicle (ambulance) by GPS via "press" button has installed on the smartphone. In addition, this system can also help reduce congestion and the probability of an accident occurring at a traffic light junction as another vehicle had to huddle to give way for emergency vehicles (ambulance). Therefore, this system could have an impact on traffic problems for emergency vehicles and even better to reduce congestion.
