Abstract: 7. ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION: Urban traffic congestion presents significant challenges, including prolonged travel times, increased fuel consumption, and critical. delays in emergency response. Traditional traffic management systems lack the adaptability to regulate traffic flow dynamically based on real-time conditions. This system introduces an innovative approach, Automated Speed Control and Emergency Route Creation in Traffic Congestion, to improve vehicle movement and prioritize emergency transport. The system incorporates IR sensors positioned at strategic intervals to Arduino- based controller, categorizing congestion levels into low, medium, or high and displaying real-time updates on an LCD module, enabling drivers to make infom1ed speed adjustments to enhance traffic flow efficiency. A cmcial feature of this system is emergency vehicle prioritization, implemented through RF communication, where emergency vehicles equipped with RF transmitters transmit signals to RF receivers installed at traffic signals, allowing the system to override nom1al traffic control mechanisms and promptly switch the signal to green, ensuring seamless passage for emergency responders. Simultaneously, the LCD display provides real-time route guidance, advising emergency vehicles in high-traffic areas to take alternative routes to reduce congestion. This ·solution offers a cost-effective, scalable, and intelligent method for mitigating urban traffic issues by combining real-time traffic monitoring, automated signal control, and emergency response 1i1anagement. Experimental validation confirms improved traffic efficiency, reduced congestion delays, and enhanced emet·gency response limes, suppurtiug tile ac.lvaucclllclll of Intelligent Transp01tation Systems (ITS) and contributing to the development of smart city . Keywords: Tmff1c management, emergency vehicle prioritization, infrared sensors, dynamic signal timing, radio frequency communication, real-time traffic display
