TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM

USING
ULTRASONIC SENSORS
ABSTRACT

  The function of traffic light is to provide sophisticated


control and coordination to ensure that traffic moves as
smoothly and safely as possible.

  The main purpose of this project is, if there will be no


traffic on the other signal, one shouldn’t wait for that signal.

 The system will skip that signal and will move on the next
one.
INTRODUCTION

 Arduino is the main part of this project and it will be


used to read from ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 and
calculate the distance. This distance will tell us if any
vehicle is near the signal or not.

 The main task was to avoid use of delay because we


have to continuously read from the ultrasonic sensors
and also at the same time, we have to control signals
which requires the use of delay function.
COMPONENTS

i. Arduino Mega 2560 .

ii. 4 X HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors.

iii. 4 X Red LEDs.

iv. 4 X Green LEDs.

v. 4 X Yellow LEDs.

vi. 12 X 220 ohm resistors.

vii. Breadboards and jumper cables.


CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
WORKING

The working of the project is divided into three steps

 If there is traffic at all the signals, then the system will work
normally by controlling the signals one by one.

 If there is no traffic near a signal, then the system will skip


this signal and will move on to the next one. For example, if
there is no vehicle at signal 2, 3 and currently the system is
allowing vehicles at signal 1 to pass. Then after signal 1, the
system will move on to signal 4 skipping signal 2 and 3.

 If there is no traffic at all the 4 signals, system will stop at


the current signal and will only move on the next signal if
there will be traffic at any other signal.
FUTURE SCOPE

 We will update this system with when a vehicle try to move
even during red signal it will turn on an alarm to warn the driver
of the vehicle and will send the alert to the traffic warden with
the picture.
CONCLUSION

By using this system configuration we can reduce the


possibilites of traffic jam caused by traffic light to extent .
The number of passing vechicles on the road decides the
density range of traffics and on the basis of vechicle count
decides the traffic light delay.
