EMERGENCY TRAFFIC SYSTEM (ETS)

Communication has been growing very rapidly where almost every one on earth is
connected despite their geographic location. This is due to various improvements in the
telecommunication industry. There have been various researches done to apply
communication medium into car where it is called Vehicular Ad Hoc Network
(V ANET). This dissertation focuses on the design of a simulation application which
establishes communication between two 802.11 nodes. One of the nodes is a mobile
node which resembles an ambulance and another static node resembles a road side unit.
The mobile node will be able to instruct traffic light to react upon its path request. To
prove this concept, experiment on V ANET was done on NS 2 to simulate a moving
mobile node communication with a static node.
The system has been resourced on android platform for the mobile node application as
android is the most widely used operating system for smart phones. Visual Basic is used
to simulate the traffic light condition as it receives input from mobile node via ad hoc
network. The application developed would be able to reduce ambulance time spend on
road due to bad traffic condition while increasing chance of saving patients life.
