Abstract
The main reason for the death of patients while going to hospitals is traffic congestion. Traffic congestion may be caused due to many reasons such as accidents, road construction works, large numbers of pedestrians crossing roads etc., especially in metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, etc. In such cities, people live a busy lifestyle where they have no time for themselves, and they don't even think of giving way to emergency services like ambulances. To overcome this problem as well as many such problems this paper gives a solution that is "Intelligent Ambulance using IOT". This paper describes the use of many technologies such as GPS for providing location, IOT for calculating the density of vehicles and automatically changing signal light to green if an ambulance is on the way and to monitor the health of the patient, Arduino microcontroller and Nodemcu technology to send vital information such as heartbeat rate and body temperature of the patient to nearest hospitals via telegram. The proposed system is used to save the life of patients by taking them to the hospital in a faster way than the usual traditional way. Additionally to this, the patient monitoring system can check the victim's health condition using a heart rate sensor and temperature sensor, i.e. LM35, and send the information to the hospital.
