In this paper, a density based auto traffic light control system with GSM based remote override is designed and implemented to in particular, eliminate the usual conflicting authority between the green light for the motorists/pedestrians and emergency vehicles and in general reduce very long queues of vehicular traffics at the cross-road junctions in Enugu Metropolis. Three PIC 16F877A microcontrollers, one each specifically dedicated for intelligent allocation of right of way based on vehicle densities sensing, allotting of due passage duration time, and overriding feature for emergency cases, is proposed and implemented. The traffic override is either performed by the pressure switches for density detections or the GSM module for emergency cases at any given time. The GSM remote overriding authority may be vested only on the emergency vehicle operators to override the set timing of the traffic light control system in the event of emergencies to eliminate traffic logjams and possible fatalities.

Configuration technology is a new technology for monitoring in the current society; it is the result of the development of computer control technology. To traffic light control system, it is to combine the use of configuration technology and procedures related to PLC, and through software simulation and traffic lights light changes, traffic light control system could achieve the monitoring problem, and if the system is in good condition, its application can save a lot of labor powers and materials.

Nowadays, automatic traffic light control is becoming an important requirement for travelers and number of road users especially for emergency service providers such as ambulance drivers, fire fighters etc... Various alternatives have been proposed, but it has certain limitations.One such example is using an RF transmitter mounted on the ambulance which will communicate with the RF receiver mounted on the signal post in the traffic control system. A special algorithm is provided to control the traffic signals automatically by pressing the key provided in the keybord on the ambulance by the driver.But in this case, there is big trouble for car accidents or road accidents, because of automatic adjustment and a large number of vehicles, and there is a problem of delay in first aid service, with these overcrowded roads. This paper describes a solution that is "Intelligent Ambulance with Automatic Traffic Control” which includes the accident detecting, alerting and tracking mechanism with an automatic traffic light controlling system to overcome this delay of first aid service. An ambulance can thereby easily finde a freeway to reach the victim in a minimal time and thereby providing first aid as soon as possible. This is possible by using an RF transmitter on the ambulance which will communicate with the RF receiver mounted on the signal post in the traffic control system. To control the traffic signals automatically, and to move towards the location in minimal time, a specific algorithm is proposed in this paper. Thus, the traffic light gets controlled by the intelligent ambulance itself, in such a way that it could provide free path to the ambulance[1].
