Traffic and Admission Clearance for Patient on AmbulanceIJRTEMJOURNAL
Patients in critical condition request for an ambulance. At times up on reaching the hospitals
they are denied of admissions. Patients conditions, address details, contact no’s etc details are provided while
requesting for an ambulance. Though admission process requires only this information lack of connectivity
between ambulance service and the hospitals is the main reason why the patients end up searching for the
hospitals that would allow admission. This Project provides an Ambulance service which is a credible health
care entity that could send messages to multiple hospitals to see which hospitals are willing to provide
admission for the patients. That lets the patient decide which hospital he would prefer to get admitted. The
ambulance driver upon swiping the RFID card in the ambulance would intimate the traffic poles in the route
about the arrival of the ambulance. The message well in advance about the emergency will be transmitted to the
signal poles and green light will be issued for the ambulance. This project belongs to HealthCare domain. The
Technologies used to develop this project are IoT, Android, MQTT, Java Web and the Hardware required to
build this project are Node MCU (2), RFID Scanner, RFID Card, LED Lights, Android mobile.

2. Counter the Drone Threat
The continued growth of the consumer drone market presents new challenges for
the aviation industry.
Whether it's a careless amateur pilot or a deliberate attack, the drone threat comes
in many shapes and sizes.
To help you meet these challenges head-on, we will discuss overview of the
counter-drone technology you can buy today.
You might also know it as anti-drone or counter-UAS (C-UAS) technology.
We will discuss the best counter-drone technologies, including a helpful
breakdown of the pros and cons of each solution.
At the end, you should have a good idea of what technology you need and what
you don’t.
3. What is counter-drone technology?
Counter-drone technology encompasses a wide range of solutions that allow you
to detect, classify, and mitigate drones and unmanned aerial vehicles.
This includes everything from camera systems and specialist drone detection radar
to net guns and cyber takeover systems.
4. Drone Monitoring Equipment
Drone Monitoring Equipment can be passive (simply looking or listening) or active
(sending a signal out and analysing what comes back) and can perform several
functions, including:
Detection
Classification or Identification
Locating and Tracking
Alerting
There are four main types of drone monitoring equipment:
Radio Frequency (RF) Analysers
Acoustic Sensors (Microphones)
Optical Sensors (Cameras)
Radar
5. Radio Frequency (RF) Analysers
RF Analysers consist of one or more antennas to receive radio waves and a
processor to analyse the RF spectrum. They’re used to try to detect radio
communication between a drone and its controller.
Some systems can identify the more common drone makes and models, while
others can even identify the MAC addresses of the drone and controller (if the
drone uses Wi-Fi for communication). This is especially useful for prosecution
purposes – proving that a particular drone and controller were active.
Pros:
Low-cost. Can detect (and sometimes identify) multiple drones and
controllers. It's also passive, so you don't need a licence to operate. Some can
triangulate drone and controller positions.
Cons:
Doesn’t always locate and track drones. Can’t detect autonomous drones, less
effective in crowded RF areas, typically short range. Difficult to detect drones
controlled over 5G networks.
6. Optical Sensors (Cameras)
Optical sensors collect light at a range of wavelengths, including visible and
infrared, as well as thermal radiation, to detect drones day and night. Recent
advances in optical sensor technology have improved resolution (and thereby
range) and processing power, in the form of AI-powered detection, tracking, and
classification.
Pros:
Provide visuals on the drone and its (potential) payload, can record images as
forensic evidence for use in eventual prosecution.
Cons:
Difficult to use for detection by itself, high false-alarm rates, mostly poor
performance in dark, fog, etc.
7. Acoustic Sensors (Microphones)
Usually a microphone or microphone array (lots of microphones), that detects the
sound made by a drone and calculates a direction. More sets of microphone arrays
can be used for rough triangulation.
Pros:
Detects all drones within the near field, including those operating
autonomously (without (RF-emissions). Detects drones in the ground clutter
where other technologies can struggle. Great gap-filler in areas outside line-
of-sight of other sensors. Highly mobile and quickly deployable. Completely
passive.
Cons:
Doesn’t work as well in noisy environments, very short range (max. 300-
500m)
8. Acoustic Sensors (Microphones)
A device that uses radio energy to detect an object. Drone detection radar sends
out a signal and receives the reflection, measuring direction and distance (position).
Most radars send their radio signal as a burst, then listen for the ‘echo’. Almost all
radars are designed to NOT pick up small targets. They are designed for large
object tracking, like passenger aircraft.
Pros:
Long range, constant tracking, highly accurate localisation, can handle
hundreds of targets simultaneously, can track all drones regardless of
autonomous flight, independent of visual conditions (day, night, fog, etc.)
Cons:
Detection range depends on drone size. Most don't distinguish birds from
drones. Requires a transmission license and frequency checks to prevent
interference.
9. Drone Countermeasure Equipment
Countermeasures can be grouped as either:
Physically destroying the drone
Neutralising the drone
Taking control of the drone
10. Radio Frequency Jammers
An RF Jammer is a static, mobile, or handheld device which transmits a large
amount of RF energy towards the drone, masking the controller signal. This results
in one of four scenarios, depending on the drone:
The drone makes a controlled landing in its current position
The drone returns to its pre-programmed home location (which could be set
to a target position instead of home)
The drone falls uncontrolled to the ground
The drone flies off in a random uncontrolled direction
Pros:
Medium cost, non-kinetic neutralisation.
Cons:
Short range. Can affect (and jam) other radio communications. May result in
unpredictable drone behaviour and can unintentionally send the drone to its
target.
11. GPS Spoofers
GPS spoofers send a new signal to the target drone that replaces the
communication signal it uses to navigate. In this way, it spoofs the drone into
thinking it’s somewhere else.
By dynamically altering the GPS coordinates in real time, the spoofer can control
the drone’s position. Once the spoofer gains control, they can direct the drone to a
‘safe zone’, for example.
Pros:
Medium cost, non-kinetic neutralisation.
Cons:
Short range, can affect (and jam) other radio communications.
12. High Power Microwave (HPM) Devices
High Power Microwave (HPM) devices generate an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)
capable of disrupting electronic devices.
The EMP interferes with radio links and disrupts or even destroys the electronic
circuitry in drones (plus any other electronic device within range) due to the
damaging voltage and currents it creates.
HPM devices may include an antenna to focus the EMP in a certain direction,
reducing potential collateral damage.
Pros:
Within range, the drone can be stopped effectively, non-kinetic.
Cons:
High cost, risk of unintentionally disrupting communications or destroying
other electronic devices in the area, drone effectively switches off instantly
falling uncontrolled to the ground.
13. Nets and Net Guns
Firing a net at a drone, or otherwise bringing a net into contact with a drone stops
the drone by prohibiting the rotor blades. There are three main types:
Net Cannon fired from the ground
Net cannon fired from another drone
Hanging net deployed from a ‘net drone’
Pros:
Physically captures drone – good for forensics and prosecution, ground-
launched net cannons are semi-automatic with high accuracy, drone
deployed nets have long range, low risk of collateral damage.
Cons:
As a kinetic solution, it can result in debris (depending on parachute options).
Drone-deployed nets can be imprecise and have long reload times, ground-
launched nets have a short range.
14. High-energy lasers
A high-powered optical device which produces an extremely focused beam of light,
or laser beam. The laser defeats the drone by destroying the structure and/or the
electronics.
Pros:
Physically captures drone – good for forensics and prosecution, ground-
launched net cannons are semi-automatic with high accuracy, drone
deployed nets have long range, low risk of collateral damage.
Cons:
Long-range, low-cost-per-kill solution. Physically stops and destroys target
drones to neutralise threats quickly. Doesn't require physical ammunition,
like nets.
15. Cyber Takeover Systems
Cyber takeover, or cyber takedown, systems are a relatively new counter-drone
technology. They passively detect radio frequency transmissions emitted by drones
to identify the drone's serial number and locate the pilot's position using AI. If the
operator recognises the drone as a threat, they can send a signal to hack the drone,
assume control, and direct it to a safe location.
Pros:
Precise, with a low risk of collateral damage. Lightweight, and can be
configured for both static and mobile applications. Automatically captures
incident data vital for forensic investigation. Effective against both piloted
and autonomous drones.
Cons:
New and largely untested technology. Relies on an up-to-date library of
commercial drones, making it less effective against homemade or state-
developed drones.
16. Integrating it All Together
It’s more than likely that the best drone detection solution for you is going to be a
mix of the above technologies. Which mix exactly? Well, that’s going to be
dependent on your specific use case.
