        abstract = {This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a Smart ambulance with intelligence traffic control using RFID and IOT. Traffic congestion in urban areas poses a significant challenge, especially for emergency vehicles like ambulances, where delays can be life-threatening. Conventional traffic management systems operate on fixed timing mechanisms and lack adaptability for emergency situations, often causing ambulances to get stuck in heavy traffic. To address this critical issue, this project introduces a Smart Ambulance System with Intelligent Traffic Control, leveraging RFID, IoT and ESP32 to ensure seamless and priority-based traffic management. The proposed system integrates RFID technology, where each ambulance is equipped with an RFID tag, and RFID readers are strategically installed at traffic intersections. When an ambulance approaches a junction, the RFID reader detects the unique tag and sends a signal to the ESP32 microcontroller, which automatically controls the traffic signals to turn green for the ambulance’s path while keeping the other signals red to prevent congestion. This mechanism ensures the ambulance can move without unnecessary stops, significantly reducing response time in emergencies. Additionally, an I2C LCD display is placed at intersections to inform other drivers about ambulance priority, improving coordination among vehicles.},
