Description

Abstract: Emergency response is crucial for keeping the public safe and ensuring the well-being of individuals in critical situations. The prompt and efficient deployment of emergency vehicles is necessary to minimize response times and reduce potential harm to people and property. This comprehensive survey paper explores various approaches, strategies, and technologies used to optimize traffic flow for emergency vehicles. It begins by emphasizing the importance of swift emergency vehicle response, particularly in medical emergencies and law enforcement. The paperthen examines current methodsfor managing traffic and the challenges that hinder the timely movement of emergency vehicles, such as congestion, infrastructure limitations, and communication problems. Additionally, it presents case studies and real-world examples that demonstrate the effectiveness and challenges of different strategies for optimizing traffic flow. The survey also delves into the ethical considerations, privacy concerns, and societal impacts associated with prioritizing emergency vehicles.
