Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean. 
Three students of the android club, VIT University, Chennai have developed an app that will alert motorists to give way to an ambulance while driving. The app was inaugurated at the marathon held by the university along Vandalur-Kelambakkam stretch on Thursday.
“It took us almost six months to think, develop and finally create the application. But we’re glad we finally did it,” said Kalluri Vinay Reddy, a fourth year MS software engineering student at VIT and one of the developers of the app.
“With the rising number of vehicles, there have been countless instances where ambulances carrying seriously ill patients were unable to reach the hospitals on time because of traffic. Even motorists don’t realise this, so we decided to create an app that will benefit the ill.”
Using the application, the user will know in which direction the ambulance is moving relative to user’s present location. The user can refresh the app every 50 metres travelled. The range of the app to detect an ambulance is 5000 metres. This will allow the user to pull over to the side before being caught in traffic. Its uses Parse Cloud technology and GPS to track the moving ambulance.
“It has been tested with some of the ambulances in the city and will soon be installed by everyone.
