Preemption of Traffic Signal Using Global Positioning System (GPS)

The manipulation of an automated traffic signal is triggered by a Traffic Signal Preemption system. The signals are generally a preconception end to support the emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire truck. This results in their counter times being shortened and the right of-way is offered in an organized and smooth way. The paper offers a pioneering and practical server-centric model to enable preemption using an elementary mobile phone application which uses Global Positioning System (GPS) and a microcontroller which regulates traffic signals.
