Differential Analysis of Emergency Vehicle Detection in Urban Traffic : A Systematic Review

Abstract

The differential analysis of emergency vehicle detection in urban traffic is crucial for improving response times and reducing traffic-related delays during emergencies. This systematic review aims to analyze various methods and technologies, such as acoustic, visual, and sensor-based systems, used for detecting emergency vehicles in complex urban environments. The motivation behind this study is the growing need for more efficient traffic management systems that prioritize emergency vehicles, minimizing delays caused by congestion. However, limitations include the inconsistent performance of detection systems in varying weather, lighting, and noise conditions, as well as integration challenges with existing infrastructure. The objective is to evaluate current detection methods, identify their limitations, and propose potential improvements to enhance the accuracy and reliability of emergency vehicle detection in urban traffic systems.
