description Traffic density is growing day by day due to the increasing population and affordable prices of cars. It created a void for traffic management systems to cope with traffic congestion and prioritize ambulances. The consequences can be a terrible situation. Emergency vehicles are the most affected in these situations, and inadequate traffic control can put many lives at stake. Ambulances on the road are detected using an acoustic-based Artificial Intelligence system in this article. Emergency vehicle siren and road noise datasets have been developed for ambulance acoustic monitoring. The dataset is developed along with a deep learning (MLP-based) model and trained to use audio monitoring to predict the ambulance presence on the roads. This model achieved 90% accuracy when trained and validated against a developed dataset of only 300 files. With this validated algorithm, researchers can develop a real-time hardware-based model to detect emergency vehicles and make them arrive at the hospital as soon as possible.
