Advanced Driver Alert System for Ambulance Passby

Abstract

This paper aims at solving the most important issue in a populated country like India where an ambulance spends more time on the roads carrying the patient on their way to the hospital. This time spend on the roads by the ambulance can be reduced with the help of technologies and following a methodology of application. We present an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) which alerts the driver about the upcoming ambulance in the path of its travel with the help of two-level wireless communication; Vehicle to Vehicle Communication (V2V) and Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC). This alerts the driver to make way for the upcoming ambulance which eventually helps the ambulance to spend less time on the roads thereby, increasing the possibility of saving the lives of patients.
