The efficient movement of emergency vehicles, such as ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars, is crucial in today's traffic landscape. Railway crossings, however, often present a significant challenge, causing critical delays due to train schedules and barrier closures, which can have serious consequences. To address this, we propose an "Emergency Vehicle Priority System at Railway Crossings." This system aims to minimize these delays through automation and seamless communication. The system uses RFID or infrared (IR) sensors to detect approaching emergency vehicles and sends this information to a central microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the data and transmits a wireless signal (via LoRa, Zigbee, or GSM) to the railway signal system. Upon receiving this signal, the system holds the railway barrier closed for trains and opens it for emergency vehicles, ensuring they can pass without interruption. Once the emergency vehicle has safely crossed, normal train operations resume. This system reduces the need for manual intervention, improves traffic flow, and enhances coordination between road and railway networks, ultimately leading to greater public safety.
