Résumé

Traffic congestion has resulted in the loss of human lives globally as a result of failing to transfer accident victims, critical patients, medical equipment, and medications on time. With the ever-increasing volume of vehicular traffic, the convergence of Edge-based approaches has emerged as a potential platform for a Collaborative Edge Traffic Management Model. The collaborative edge model focuses on three objectives reducing the latency of the ambulance arrival to the accident, delivering the ambulance to the closest hospital and taking into consideration the patient case severity by a set of collaborating edges communicating to facilitate and manage this process.
