Abstract
With the initiatives of Smart Cities and growing popularity of Internet of Things, traffic management system has become one of the most researched areas. Increased vehicle density on roads has resulted in plethora of challenges for traffic management in urban cities worldwide. Failure in transporting accident victims, critical patients and medical equipment on time has led to loss of human lives which are the results of road congestions. This paper introduces a framework with the fused concept of vehicular ad hoc networks and Internet of things that aims to prioritize emergency vehicles for smooth passage through the road traffic. The proposed system navigates ambulances in finding the nearest possible path to their destination based on real-time traffic information. A simulation of the designed framework has been demonstrated using CupCarbon simulator.
