Transferring patients to the hospital should be quick and save to increase rescue and survival rates. Thus, ambulances take the short and safe route to the emergency department in a hospital. To meet this, this paper addresses the problem of road jam by controlling the underlying traffic lights and selecting the optimal path depending on the sung sensor readings. The proposed system includes two main parts; data center and ambulance. The data center collects information regarding patient and hospital locations, as well as the current location of an ambulance and sensor readings from crowds posted on highways. This is to implement the proposed algorithm that guides the ambulance to the optimal route in which the patient can be delivered to the emergency department safely and soon. In addition, this algorithm sends signals to the semaphore considered to be green in front of the arrival of the ambulance. On the ambulance side, the location has been sent to the data center using Arduino, the Global Positioning System (GPS) shield, and the Global System Mobile (GSM) shields set in the ambulance. In addition, the ambulance is provided with navigation screen to guide the driver using the best way. All traffic data and patient and ambulance locations are stored in a database on the data center server for more information and actions. Different programs have been used like PhP, SQL Server, C #, Arduino and Google Maps.
