Algorithm for Creating Optimized Green Corridor for Emergency Vehicles with Minimum Possible Disturbance in Traffic

Abstract

Green corridor is a dynamic real-time lane created in order to increase the speed at which an emergency vehicle can travel in traffic. Its purpose is to reduce the travel time of emergency vehicles. The paper submitted examines ways to optimize the travel time for emergency vehicles and for other drivers on the roads. The paper takes into account the fact that all vehicles accelerate and decelerate at different speeds and the fact that there might be several traffic guided lights and non-guided lights on the roads. There are other factors considered, such as the speed and safety, in order to create a sustainable solution that can be implemented at scale. SUMO simulation libraries are used to create an environment as close to reality as possible. The trade-off between the number of variables selected and the approximation of a real situation has been carefully selected so that the solution is also feasible in real-life situations.
