چکیده

The road safety is one of the serious challenges faced by most of the governments due to the involvement of various issues. Being perfect in driving is not enough on the roads but tackling the mistakes of other persons is also an important aspect of the present day driving. Dealing with the accidents, injured personals, communicating the emergency services and dealing with other legal formalities is a serious challenge in present conditions. Providing emergency services is a real challenge due to increased population, heavy traffic and communication problems. In this paper, a novel technique is being introduced to avoid delays and major setbacks by emergency services at the time of accidents. The proposed technique works along with traffic control system of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). By introducing such system in the healthcare, the serious drawbacks of communication can be avoided to a maximum extent. The proposed system can prove to be very effective at a place like Saudi Arabia, where millions of Hajj pilgrims visit for socioreligious gatherings. Keywords—Accidents; Communication; Emergency Services; Hajj Pilgrims; Healthcare; Saudi Arabia
