OBJECTIVE:
• The main aim of the project is to design a two way traffic light controller
using verilog.
• One with the help of timing mechanism and other by the help of detector or
sensor.
SOFTWARE USED:
• Xilinx 14.7
• Verilog: C like HDL is easier to comprehend and saves design time since the
syntax is more concise that VHDL
INTRODUCTION:
• In general, many traffic lights are operates on a timing mechanism that
changes the light after given time interval.
• The traffic light system consists of three important parts, in that traffic light
controller is first one, because of it represent brain of the traffic system.
• The second part is the signal visualization or in simple words is signal face.
• The third part is the detector or sensor.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS:
• An intelligent traffic light system senses the presence or absence of vehicles
and reacts accordingly.
• The idea behind intelligent traffic systems is that drivers will not spend
unnecessary time waiting for the traffic lights to change.
• In the traffic light control system, the main controller, control circuit,
counter, timer, decoder, clock signal generator, decoder drive circuit and
digital display decoder drive circuit are needed to complete the whole
process of controlling the traffic light.

WORKING PRINCIPLE;
• The main road's lights are always green for the major traffic to pass.
• The main road's lights turn red only when there is a car on either side of the
side road for a period of time.
• When detector detect the vehicles, only then the lights on the side road turn
from red->green while the main road's lights turn from green->yellow->red.
• After the given interval of time, lights on the main road turns to red-
>yellow->green and the side road turns from green->red.
• In the timer part, there are three things one is the short time pulse (TS) and

6
the long time pulse (TL) and the last is a response to start the timer (ST)
signal.
STATE DIAGRAM:
• The main road will be green until no cars are found and it remains in state
S0.
• When long time expires and cars found the transition from S0 to S1 takes
place.
• When the short time interval expires it transit from S1 to S2.
• When the long time interval doesn't expire and cars are detected it will in the
state S2.
• When the long time expires and no more cars detected it transit from S2 to
S3.
• When the short interval expires it transit from S3 to S0 and the cycle
continues.

DEVICE UTILIZATION SUMMARY:

15
ADVANTAGES:
• Traffic signals help for movement of traffic securely without any collision.
• The drivers will not spend unnecessary time waiting for the traffic lights to
change.
• Traffic control by signals is accurate and economical as compared to traffic
police control.

16
DISADVANTAGES :
• During signals breakdown, there are serious and wide-spread traffic
difficulties during peak hours.
CONCLUSION;
• In this project we introduced detector based technology for traffic control.
• We conclude that it provides powerful solution to improve existing system
with the new smart traffic light controller.
FUTURE SCOPE :
• Blinking of lights according to the traffic level present in the road can be
added.
• Managing traffic when any emergency vehicle come can also be introduced.
For example ambulance.
