Abstract: Quick arrival of emergency assistance to the troubled area is immensely essential for ambulances, and other vehicles like police, fire engines, etc. For the distance between the departure and the final troubled points, the consumed traveling time is the most critical issue to be considered. Utmost attention should be taken into consideration at traffic lights and other congested intersections. This paper is advantageous and ideal in proposing, innovating, and developing a model, namely server-centric, which is a great asset in reducing the cost and producing better performance by applying an Internet of Things (IOT), by considering a central controller web server, and a microcontroller system by applying Global Positioning System (GPS) and Fuzzy Controller System (FCS) approach. This Lean Traffic Control (LTC) can dynamically and automatically control traffic signals in order to open the path to get the destination as soon as possible. It can be performed by considering three main steps to design: 1- Central controller web server, 2- Communications software application, and 3- Communications hardware application. The primary prototype of this project is ready and the future work will need the LTC system to be tested in real-world performance.
