FIELD OF THE INVENTION : This invention relates to smoothen road traffic and handle abnormal/emergency situation efficiently

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:

It is seen that every year huge losses are incurred due to break down of vehicles in middle of the road and traffic gets stuck for many hours. Also due to moving traffic on road it becomes difficult to stop suspicious vehicle. Mentally ill person drives vehicle speedily with passengers for long distance causing many lives and great damage threat. In foreign countries also inspite of continous efforts to reduce such losses, very little success is achieved.

In India, in Pune a bus driver named Santosh Mane had hijacked a state transport bus from Swargate depot on the morning of January 25, 2012, and mowed down 9 persons, injuring 37and smashing 25 vehicles in a nightmarish ride over 25km stretch on the city streets who was finally stopped only when two cars hit each other in the middle of the road and blocked the road.
