Abstract- The traffic control system is the serious
hazards in almost every country this is due to rapid
increases in number of vehicle. In order to reduces the
complexity and reduces the time, the existing traffic
system has to be combined with an existing technology.
Emergency services are organization which ensure
public safety by addressing different emergencies. They
are allowed to do drive through the intersecting when
traffic signal light is red, because the vehicles are not
reach the destination on particular time. Crisis vehicle
like rescue vehicle an ambulance and fire trucks need to
achieve their goals at the most punctual. An intelligent
traffic control system has been developed to overcome
the traffic problem using Raspberry pi. This method
helps to give quick way to the traffic system and
ambulance clearance. In this system RFID and IR
sensor are placed on the traffic signal used to detects the
vehicle and also store the data of vehicle for future use.
Based on the number of vehicles count, the information
is captured by sensor and store the details. During the
traffic congestion time, any emergency vehicle detects
the signal that automatically change GREEN to RED
and also if there is heavy number of vehicle standing on
the signal and it changes the signal accordingly. Once
the signal has been changed, without the knowledge of
traffic police. Using Flask Web Application Technology
helps to check the details of traffic changes through
internet with. Creating an application using local IP
address, by using this address the traffic police can able
to check the changes of signal in everywhere. It helps to
reduces the manpower and cost effective.

INTRODUCT ION
Traffic congestion is serious problem in many
modern cities around the world. The travelling of
different places within the city is becoming more
difficult for the travelers in traffic. Because of the
congestion problems, people lose time, miss
opportunities, and get frustrated. Due to traffic
congestions their loss in productivity from workers,
trade opportunities are lost, delivery gets delayed,
and thereby the cost goes on increasing. Traffic
control system is major issue in the world. The
emergency vehicles are permitted to break the rules,
in order to reach the destination on time. The
emergency vehicles do not get the information
immediately after the accident has occurred. It needs
a traffic control solution, which are different from the
developed Countries. The intelligent management of
traffic can reduce the negative impact of congestion.
In recent years, wireless networks are mainly used in
the road transport as they provide more cost effective.
Most of the current day systems use predetermined
timing circuits to operate traffic signals, which are
not efficient because they do not operate according to
the current volume of traffic at the crossing [1]. It is
often seen in today’s automated traffic control
systems because those vehicles have to wait at a road
crossing even though there is little or no traffic in the
other direction. To manage traffic congestion, sensor-
based systems were suggested for improvement over
fixed timing controlled ones. Sometimes multiple
detections were also difficult to handle with a sensor
based system. These techniques are deals with
multivehicle, multilane, multi road junction areas. It
provides an efficient time management scheme, in
which, time schedule is worked out in real time for
the passage of each traffic column. The real-time
operation of the system matches the judgment of a
traffic policeman on duty. Priority based traffic lights
controller using wireless sensor networks was
discussed which was used to provide clearance to any
emergency vehicle by turning all the red lights to
green in the path of the emergency vehicle depending
on the priority assigned to them. Efficient
management of traffic is achieved by instructing this
system to make decisions based on traffic density
occurring in its environment. The advantage lies in
the fact that these automated systems in [3], being
free of manual intervention, can be employed to
monitor traffic in areas where it may not be feasible
to post people or which are prone to accidents
