running two tasks simultaneously

hi am working on a project that requires running two tasks simultaneosuly.

task 1. %infinite while loop which constantly records audio data and detects for ambulance and stores result in a variable

task 2. % again infinite loop which is processing some images and gives output to arduino and switch traffic signals according to results

task 1 is independent. But task 2 requires data form task 1 so that it can gives output to arduino if an ambulance is detected and perform assigned action according to ambulance detection

can anyone help me how can i perform both tasks in parallel at the same time.

its bit late, but still...

You can definitely use 'timer' function in this scenario. create timer for your task 1, for 1 second let us say. and run task 2 in infinite loop.
