        abstract = {This project presents an RF module-based traffic signal prioritization system designed to facilitate the swift passage of emergency vehicles through congested intersections. When an emergency vehicle activates a directional switch, the traffic signals dynamically change from red to green exclusively in the requested direction, ensuring an unobstructed path. The system employs microcontroller-based controllers integrated with RF wireless communication to detect and respond to emergency vehicle signals in real-time. Additionally, the project incorporates real-time updates from nearby hospitals through the Adafruit IoT platform, enhancing coordination between traffic management and healthcare facilities. This integration enables timely response to emergencies, reduces delay for emergency services, and improves overall traffic flow without compromising regular traffic. By combining wireless communication technology with IoT-based hospital updates, this system aims to optimize emergency vehicle routing and elevate urban traffic management efficiency.},
