Abstract: 
This research presents a model for an adaptive traffic signal control system aimed at improving urban traffic regulation. It dynamically adjusts signal timing based on vehicle volume at intersections, prioritizing emergency vehicles by allowing them immediate passage. Utilizing Arduino coding, the system controls traffic light intensity according to the traffic flow, enhancing road safety and efficiency. This innovative approach not only facilitates faster clearance for emergency services without human intervention but also reduces congestion and accident rates. This research creates a model for a prioritized traffic signal control system. When the vehicular volume at the intersection varies, the signal time alters autonomously. It identifies theambulance/emergency vehicles and allows the green light for emergency vehicles like ambulances, and fire engines. This approach may be used to detect traffic accidents and infractions of automobile spiral motions. When erected on the road, the entire system allows for quick traffic clearing for rescue vehicles without requiring a policeman. The system's design eliminates the need for sensors or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, simplifying traffic management. Simulations validate that emergency vehicle travel time is significantly reduced, proving the system's effectiveness in streamlining urban traffic flows.
