Efficient and safe traffic control strategy for emergency vehicle can reduce its travel time and avoid secondary accident. Based on the analysis of its requirement and object, we proposed a novel control strategy at intersection according to the status of emergency vehicle, which can be divided into three parts: “approaching”, “passing “and “recovering”, Furthermore potential safety risk caused...

Traffic accident data shows an upward trend. One of the contributing factors is condition driver who tired or sleepy due to decreased oxygen saturation in blood (SpO2). If (SpO2) decreases, supply brain also which causes feel sleepy, even shortness breath. By using a pulse oximeter sensor mounted on wrist, can be detected. The results readings are then sent blue tooth technology microcontroller...
