Introduction:

The rapid and efficient transportation of emergency medical services (EMS) is crucial for saving lives during critical situations. However, the effectiveness of ambulance response times is often hindered by congestion, miscommunication, and lack of real-time tracking. In this regard, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a potential game-changer. RFID tags, which can be attached to ambulances, provide real-time data tracking, making it easier to manage routes, monitor vehicle conditions, and ensure that the emergency vehicles reach their destinations promptly. This research explores the implementation of RFID technology for ambulance management, highlighting its potential to reduce response time, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately save lives. By integrating RFID into emergency services, the coordination between hospitals, ambulance services, and traffic management systems could be optimized, addressing the challenges that currently impede effective ambulance operations.
