TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLER USING PIC16F877A
Chapter-1
INTRODUCTION
Objective of the project
To build a circuit to facilitate the movement of traffic in a 4-way lane system.

To reduce the waiting time for commuter in a lane before he can pass the junction
without risking the chances of accident during the lane change.
1.1 Brief description
The project uses simple electronic components such as LED as TRAFFIC LIGHT
indicator, a seven segment display and a MICROCONTROLLER for auto change
of signal after a pre-specified time interval.
Figure shows the drawing of the 4-way junction, where each way has its traffic light and
counter

Microcontroller PIC 16F877A is the brain of the project which initiates the traffic
signal at a junction.
LEDs used are red, yellow and green.

Red LED indicates stop driving
Yellow LED indicates start stopping
Green LED indicates drive.
The sequence of altering the LEDs according to their color is as shown in the figure
below: Green-Yellow-Red-Green. Twelve LEDs are used; three to each traffic light.
The LEDs are automatically on and off by making the corresponding port pin of the
micro controller high. Furthermore associated is the right turn green lights which are on
for the first 10 seconds of the total green light time.
7-segment LED displays are used to show the current count value. Since all of the
traffic lights are working simultaneously, each one is to display a different digit
than the other. When a traffic light is tuned green, its corresponding 7-segment
displays start counting down from a specific value and decrements until zero is
reached. After this the counter starts by a new count value at the moment the
yellow light turns on.
When the red light turns on after the yellow took its time, the count continues to
decrement until reaching zero. This means that the same 7-segments, on each
traffic light, are used to display the count when cars are allowed and not allowed
to pass. In terms of counting, the yellow and red are considered one set while the
green is another set. The circuit board designed supports in-circuit serial
programming (ICSP) for the PIC. This support eases the way to the designer to
program the microcontroller without the need to plug the microcontroller in and
out repeatedly.

PIC MICROCONTROLLERS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The term PIC stands for Peripheral Interface Controller .It is the brain child of Microchip
Technology, USA. Originally this was developed as a supporting device for PDP
computers to control its peripheral devices, and therefore named as PIC, Peripheral
Interface Controller. They have coined this name to identify their single chip micro
controllers. These 8-bit micro controllers have become very important now -a -days in
industrial automation and embedded applications etc.
2.1.1 Overview and Features
The PIC 16F8XX Microcontrollers are basically RISC microcontrollers with very
small instruction set of only 35 instructions and a two-stage pipeline concept fetch
and execution of instructions. As a result, all instructions execute in a single cycle
except for program branches.
There are four devices in 16F8xx family, PIC16F873, PIC16F874, PIC16F876 and
PIC16F877.The PIC16F876/873 devices come in 28-pin packages and the
PIC16F877/874 devices come in 40-pin packages. The Parallel Slave Port is not
implemented on the 28-pin devices.
PIC 16F877 is a 40-pin 8-Bit CMOS FLASH Microcontroller. The core architecture
is high-performance RISC CPU. Since it follows the RISC architecture, all single
cycle instructions take only one instruction cycle except for program branches which
take two cycles.
16F877 comes with 3 operating speeds with 4, 8, or 20 MHz clock input. Since each
instruction cycle takes four operating clock cycles, each instruction takes 0.2 s
when 20MHz oscillator is used.
It has two types of internal memories .One is program memory and the other is data
memory. Program memory is provided by 8K words (or 8K*14 bits) of FLASH
Memory, and data memory has two sources. One type of data memory is a 368-byte
RAM (random access memory) and the other is256-byte EEPROM (Electrically
erasable programmable ROM).
The core features include interrupt up to 14 sources,
power saving SLEEP mode,
a single 5V supply and
In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) capability.
2.1.2 SALIENT FEATURES

Speed :
When operated at its maximum clock rate a PIC executes most of its instructions in 0.2
s or five instructions per microsecond.
Instruction set Simplicity :
The instruction set is so simple that it consists of only just 35 instructions.
Integration of operational features:
Power-on-reset (POR) and brown-out protection ensure that the chip operates only when
the supply voltage is within specifications. A watch dog timer resets the PIC if the chip
malfunctions or deviates from its normal operation at any time.

Three timers can characterize inputs, control outputs and provide internal timing for the
program execution.
Interrupt control:
Up to 12 independent interrupt sources can control when the CPU deal with each
sources.
Powerful output pin control:
A single instruction can select and drive a single output pin high or low in its 0.2 s
instruction execution time. The PIC can drive a load of up to 25A.

2.4 PIC FEATURES

2.4.1 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The memory module of the PIC controller has three memory blocks.
a) Program memory
b) Data memory and
c) Stack
a) Program Memory
The PIC 16F8XX has 4k x14 program memory space (0000H-0FFFH).It has a 13 bit
Program counter(PC) to access any address (213=4k). This PIC family uses 13-bit
program counter allowing the controllers to an 8k-program memory without changing
the CPU structure.
FIGURE-8 PROGRAM MEMORY

b) Data memory
The data memory of PIC 16F8XX is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the
general purpose registers and the Special function Registers.(SFRs).The bits RP1 and
RP0 bits of the status register are used to select these banks. Each bank extends upto
7FH(128 Bytes).The lower bytes of the each bank are reserved for the Special Function
Registers. Above the SFRs are general purpose registers implemented as static RAM.
11
2.4.2 REGISTER FILE STRUCTURE

In PIC Microcontrollers the Register File consists of two parts namely
a) General Purpose Register File
b) Special Purpose Register
2.4.3 PARALLEL I/O PORTS

Most of the PIC16cx/7x family controllers have 33 I/O lines and five I/O ports
They are PORT A, PORT B, PORT C , PORT D and PORT E.
PORT A:
Port A is a 6-bit wide bi-directional port. Its data direction register is TRISA setting
TRISA bit to 1 will make the corresponding PORT A Pin an input. Clearing a TRIS a bit
will make the corresponding pin as an output.
PORT B:
Port B is an 8-bit wide, bi-directional port. Four of the PORT B pins RB7 RB4
have an interrupt-on- change feature. Only the pins configured as inputs can cause this
interrupt to occur.
PORT C:
Port C is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. Bits of the TRISC Register determine the
function of its pins. Similar to other ports, a logic one 1 in the TRISC Register
configures the appropriate port pin as an input.
PORT D:
Port D is an 8-bit wide bi-directional port. In addition to I/O port, Port D also works
as 8-bit parallel slave port or microprocessor port. When control bit PSPMODE
(TRISE:4) is set.
PORT E:
It is a 3-bit bi-directional port. Port E bits are multiplexed with analog inputs of
ADC and they serve as control signals (RD, WR, CS) for parallel slave port mode of
operation.
2.4.4 TIMER MODULES

There are three completely independent Timers available in PIC 16F8XX
Microcontrollers. They are
Timer 0
Timer1 and
Timer2
12
2.4.5 ADDRESSING MODES

The PIC microcontrollers support only TWO addressing modes .They are
(i) Direct Addressing Mode
(ii) Indirect Addressing mode
Direct Addressing Mode

In direct addressing mode 7 bits (0-6) of the instruction identify the register file
address and the 8 th bit of the register file address register bank select bit (RP0).
Indirect Addressing Mode
In the indirect addressing mode the 8-bit register file address is first written into a
Special Function Register (SFR) which acts as a pointer to any address location in the
register file. A subsequent direct access of INDF will actually access the register file
using the content of FSR as a pointer to the desired location of the operand.
2.4.6 INSTRUCTION SET

The instruction set of PIC is divided into three basic categories. They are:
(a) Byte oriented Instructions
(b) Bit oriented Instructions
(c) Literal and Control Instructions
Byte Oriented Instructions

In a byte oriented Instructions f represents a file register and d represents destination
register. The destination specifies where the result of operation is to be placed. If D= 0
the result is placed in W register (Accumulator) and if d = 1, the result is placed in the
file register specified in the instruction.
ADDWF f, d
: Add W and f
CLRF f
: Clear f
MOVWF f, d
: Move f
NOP
: No operation
SUBWF f, d
: Subtract W from f
Bit Oriented Instruction
In bit oriented instructions, b represents a bit field designator which selects the number
of the bit affected by the operation and f represents the number of the file in which the
bit is located.
BCF f, b
: Bit clear f
BSF f, b
: Bit set f
BTFSC f, b
: Bit test f, skip if set
13
Literal and Control Instructions

In literal and control instructions K represents an 8 or 11 bit constant or literal value.
ADDLW k : Add literal and W
ANDLW k : AND literal with W
CALL k
: Call subroutine
MOVLW k : Move literal to W
2.4.7 CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUCTIONS

(i) Arithmetic Operations
(ii) Logical Instructions
(iii) Increment/Decrement Instructions
(iv) Data Transfer instructions
(v) Clear Instructions
(vi) Rotate Instructions
(vii) Branch Instructions
2.4.8 PIC I/O PROGRAMMING (PROGRAMMING THE PORTS)
The PIC 16F family of microcontrollers has a total of 33 pins arranged into 5 ports.
PortA, Port B, Port C, Port D and Port E. In order to use them as I/O ports, they must be
properly programmed. In addition to acting as I/O ports, they also have certain additional
functions like ADC, Timers, Interrupts and serial communication pins etc.
PORT A and the TRIS A Registers
PORTA is a 6-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISA.
Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an input. Clearing a TRISA
bit
(= 0) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output.
Other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog inputs and the analog VREF input for
both the A/D converters and the comparators. The operation of each pin is selected by
clearing/setting the appropriate control bits in the ADCON1 and/or CMCON registers.
PORT B and the TRIS B Registers

PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is
TRISB. Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB pin an input.
Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output.
PORT C and the TRIS C Registers

PORTC is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is
TRISC. Setting a TRISC bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTC pin an input.
Clearing a TRISC bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTC pin an output.
14
PORT D and the TRIS D Registers

PORTD is an 8-bit port with Schmitt Trigger input buffers. Each pin is individually
configurable as an input or output. PORTD can be configured as an 8-bit wide
microprocessor port (Parallel Slave Port) by setting control bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>).
In this mode, the input buffers are TTL.
PORT E and TRIS E Registers
PORTE has three pins (RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6 and RE2/CS/AN7) which are
individually configurable as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger input
buffers. The PORTE pins become the I/O control inputs for the microprocessor port
when bit PSPMODE (TRISE<4>) is set. In this mode, the user must make certain that
the
TRISE<2:0> bits are set and that the pins are configured as digital inputs. Also, ensure
that ADCON1 is configured for digital I/O. In this mode, the input buffers are TTL.
ADVANTAGES
The PIC architecture have these advantages:
Small instruction set to learn
RISC architecture
Built in oscillator with selectable speeds
Easy entry level, in circuit programming plus in circuit debugging PIC Kit units
available for less than $50
Inexpensive microcontrollers
Wide range of interfaces including I2C, SPI, USB, USART, A/D, programmable
comparators, PWM, LIN, CAN, PSP, and Ethernet.
LIMITATIONS
The PIC architectures have these limitations:
One accumulator
Register-bank switching is required to access the entire RAM of many devices
Operations and registers are not orthogonal; some instructions can address RAM
and/or immediate constants, while others can only use the accumulator
Stack limitations:
The hardware call stack is not addressable, so preemptive task, switching cannot
be implemented.
Software-implemented stacks are not efficient, so it is difficult to generate
reentrant code and support local variables.

3.1.2 VOLTAGE REGULATOR (IC 7805)
FIGURE-10 IC 7805
Features:
IC 7805 is a 5V Voltage Regulator that restricts the voltage output to 5V and draws
5V regulated power supply.
It comes with provision to add heat sink. The maximum value for input to the
voltage regulator is 35V.
It can provide a constant steady voltage flow of 5V for higher voltage input till the
threshold limit of 35V.
If the voltage is near to 7.5V then it does not produce any heat and hence no need
for heat sink. If the voltage input is more, then excess electricity is liberated as heat from
7805.
It regulates a steady output of 5V if the input voltage is in rage of 7.2V to 35V.
Hence to avoid power loss try to maintain the input to 7.2V.
3.1.3 SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY
FIGURE-11 SEVEN SEGMENT DISPLAY

Four common cathode 7-segment displays are used in this 4-way traffic light control
system. Figure shows a segment LED display and its pin description.
20
It is a 10-pin display device. The pins are: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, DP (dot) and com. The
pins labeled as com are internally connected to each other.
The digits displayed in every 7-segment range from 0 to 9. Since the required
numbers to display are more than 9, two 7-segment LED displays (left and right) were
used for every traffic light and this is why 4 displays were used in this project (a pair for
each opposite lanes). The data pins (a, b, c, d, e, f and g) for the left and right displays in
every strip board are connected to each other because they are multiplexed.
Multiplexing is made by using a 3 to 8 decoder. The IC (74LS47) is used to select
which 7 segment to show the digit. This chip has 4 input pins labeled A, B and C and 8
output pins labeled. The input pins are connected to the microcontroller for it to select
which 7 segment to light up.

Chapter-4 SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

The tools for developing software and hardware for microcontroller-based systems
include editors, assemblers, compilers, debuggers, simulators, emulators, and device
programmers. A typical development cycle starts with writing the application program
using a text editor. The program is then translated into an executable code with the help
of an assembler or compiler. If the program has several modules, a linker is used to
combine them into a single application. Any syntax errors are detected by the assembler
or compiler and must be corrected before the executable code can be generated. Next, a
simulator is used to test the application program without the target hardware. Simulators
are helpful in checking the correctness of an algorithm or a program with limited or no
input-outputs, and most errors can be removed during simulation. Once the program
seems to be working and the programmer is happy with it, the executable code is loaded
to the target microcontroller chip using a device programmer, and the system logic is
tested. Software and hardware tools such as in-circuit debuggers and in-circuit emulators
can analyze the programs operation and display the variables and registers in real time
with the help of breakpoints set in the program. Software development tools are
computer programs, usually run on personal computers, that allow the programmer (or
system developer) to create, modify, and test applications programs. Some common
software development tools are:
Text editors
Assemblers/compilers
Simulators
High-level language simulators
Integrated development environments (IDEs)

CONCLUSION
During our minor project we developed a PIC microcontroller based TRAFFIC

LIGHT CONTROLLER to tackle the vehicular traffic on roads.
This project led us to the following outcomes:

1. A traffic light controller eases the congestion on roads.
2. Concurrently operating 4-way traffic lane reduces the waiting time for
commuters.
3. Microcontroller based traffic control is much more reliable than a traffic police.
4. The operational cost of this device is reasonable.
30
FUTURE SCOPE
This project can be enhanced in such a way as to automatically control the signals
depending on the traffic density on the roads using sensors like IR detector/receiver
module extended with automatic turn off when no vehicles are running on any side of
the road which helps in power consumption saving.
