 Day by day increasing population increases traffic and vehicles also which causes problems in transportation and management of traffic.  Mainly traffic controls at the crossings required smart traffic signaling system which has high degree of flexibility according to the flow of traffic in auxiliary roads, on the crossing some roads have a high density of traffic required rapid release of traffic to maintain the smooth flow of traffic on busy roads. 4

 In this project we develop a system which senses the traffic density on a particular road and change the Green signal duration accordingly. Here we use IR/Ultrasonic sensors fitted along the road side to detect the presence of vehicles and change the signal according to the traffic density.  This is a simple and effective solution for traffic busy crossing to control automatically the flow of traffic without disturbing the auxiliary roads. 5

 Microcontroller based traffic control system is an application specific project, which is used to control the traffic. An embedded system is developed which consists of a microcontroller (PIC 16F877A), IR sensors, LCD screen, transformer power supply (+5V) and LEDs. 6

 Easy to install  Sensors are not affected by other RF or radiations  Low power consumption  Change time duration in steps 9

 Microcontroller based traffic control system is an application specific project, which is used to control the traffic. An embedded system is developed which consists of a microcontroller, IR transmitter and receiver, LED’s  This project is implemented by placing IR transmitters, receivers and led’s at the 4 way junction represented as 10

 As the Sensor is interfaced with the Microcontroller, by changing the duration of the Green Light the density of traffic is being controlled.  The program is based on a logic that if:  Sensor is not obstructed: Green light is on for 15 seconds.  Sensor is obstructed: Green light duration increases to 30 seconds.(DENSER LANE) 13

 If we consider a Single Lane, we’ll be placing 3 sensors in proximity of around meters as approximately meters of a lane is occupied with the traffic.  Designation of time duration:  If all the 3 sensors are active: i.e all obstructed by the vehicles then the lane is immensely dense. So duration of green light can be increased to 45 seconds. 14

 If only first 2 sensors are active : lane is slightly dense, so duration can be 25 seconds.  If only the first sensor is active: Lane operates normally.  Similarly, it can be implemented for all the 4 lanes.  Note: The system goes Ambiguous if the lanes are comparitively dense. 15

 But still there exists a for it, i.e we can increase the number of sensors being used to increase the Accuracy of the System. 16

 The implementation of the project is not at all heavy on government’s pocket as: a)PIC 16F877A kits are readily available in Indian markets & cost approx. INR500 b)7 Segment displays & LEDs are already installed on the lights. c) Sensors : Approx range of sensor required is around 6 meters (width wise) which is satisfied by UltraSonic Sensors, costing 17

c) around 7.5$ ( < INR 400) each. d) Engineering Students skilled with embedded C can work along with the professionals for Program Development. Total Cost incurred on a 4 lane traffic light: 1 x INR x (< INR 400) (12 sensors, 3 for each lane) < Rs < Rs

 The block diagram consists of microcontroller interfaced to regulated power supply, led and IR receiver and IR transmitter which consist of an IR sensor.  The IR sensors and led’s are connected to any of the port pins of microcontroller, regulated power supply is connected to the VCC pin of microcontroller which uses an voltage regulator to get 5V of power supply. 21

 This embedded system is placed at the 4 way junction which controls the traffic electronically. The system uses a compact circuitry build around flash version of PIC 16F877A Microcontroller with a non- volatile memory  Programs will be developed in EMBEDDED C language. ICPROG is used for burning programs. 22

23  The programming is done with help of software named “mikroC” & the program is burned into the controller with the help of “ICProg”. The Flow Chart goes as follows:
