This paper analyses the viability of implementing sensor-based systems to enhance the efficiency of emergency vehicle traffic, in order to address this critical public safety issue. The system uses a combination of visual and acoustic sensors to detect emergency vehicles and adjust traffic signals dynamically to give them priority. The strengths of this system have been assessed, including high detection accuracy and compatibility with existing infrastructure, alongside weaknesses such as cost and environmental exposure. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that integrating sensor-based intelligent transportation systems is a viable solution for improving emergency response logistics, thereby aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.Item Removing Pesticides from Wastewater: Implementation of Constructed Wetlands(Inglés II. Universidad Tecnológica Nacional - Facultad Regional Paraná, 2025-12) Guerrinieri , Valentina; Rodríguez Cacik, Pilar; Ulrich , ErikaAbstract— Today, with the rapid development of industry and agriculture, the amount of wastewater generated by these industries increases daily particularly due to pesticides. The use of pesticides contributes to agricultural production to control pests. However, pesticides have serious environmental consequences globally. To reverse this situation, the agricultural industry should comply with the United Nations` Sustainable Development Goals #6 aims to ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Its target 6.3 deals with improving water quality and reducing water pollution. Water polluted by pesticides is not apt for consumption and the health of the people in the area is compromised when in contact with it. While pesticides can affect the soil and air, the most serious environmental impact comes from water pollution due to runoff. Rain and irrigation water flow over the fields, carry pesticides, and transport them to nearby rivers or groundwater. This paper analyses a solution to this problem, namely, the construction of wetlands. This paper thus has two purposes: addresses the problem of water contamination by pesticides and describe and analyse a solution by means of implementation of constructed wetlands. This paper is organized as follows. Firstly, a description of the problem. Secondly, the problem approach. Finally, an analysis of viability and evaluation of the proposal selected to solve the problem is presented. This paper is expected to contribute to raising awareness about the impact of the water polluted by pesticides and the consequences that this brings about.
