Abstract
Road traffic accidents has crossed 30,000 which is 2.42 percent of the total deaths in Pakistan
according to the report of WHO. As congestion on roads is increasing, emergency vehicles get
stuck on the signal while it is turned red. The study has been conducted In Gulberg town of Lahore
which has the highest record of road traffic crashes reaching 19.5 per sq.km. In order to escort the
emergency vehicle efficiently to the nearby hospital “Traffic management and emergency response
system” has been proposed. The system works through the application which is based on ERS
which tracks the patient location and checks accident’s severity through camera so that timely aid
can be provided. Both safe city authority and rescue 1122 work collaboratively in order to give
signal free path to the emergency vehicle. Through the implementation of this system the number
of deaths can be decreased since the emergency vehicles shall not be trapped on red lights.
