Abstract

Public safety and emergency response depend on rapid and accurate identification of emergency vehicles, particularly ambulances, in increasingly complicated urban traffic. This study uses deep learning to identify ambulances in congested traffic using cutting-edge object detection models like YOLOv5 and YOLOv8 [YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a family of CNN-based object detection models]. This project focusses on recognising ambulances in complex urban circumstances to provide holistic understanding and effective emergency management techniques in urban landscapes. The authors used YOLOv8, a cutting-edge object identification model with high real-time performance, for robust detection. The model, rigorously trained with a precision rate of 0.762, recall rate of 0.631, and mAP50 of 0.69, accurately identifies ambulances under difficult settings. At the IoU threshold of 0.50, the mAP50 of 0.69 indicates strong average precision.
