IOT powered smart road indicators for faster movement of emergency vehicles
July 24, 2019
conventional indicators are passive which basically reflect the red light and show lane position, whereas smart indicators are wirelessly connected to emergency vehicles and can be turned ON from the vehicles itself. Imagine a real life scenario where there is an ambulance incoming and the siren can be heard only till 15 meters, now using this smart indicators the driver of the emergency vehicle can specify which lane has to be shown red for ( approx. say 100 meters) ahead of the emergency vehicle. The drivers ahead would understand the illumination and clear the lane for passage of emergency vehicle. The indicators work in such a manner that there is always a 100 meter length of road illuminating ahead of the emergency vehicle throughout its journey to the destination. Using this time can be saved as vehicles which are very far from the emergency vehicle can be informed about the lane that is to be cleared. TIME IS MOST IMPORTANT DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, MANY LIFE’S HAVE BEEN LOST JUST DUE TO A LATE ARRIVAL OF EMERGENCY VEHICLE.
