INTRODUCTION
Fast transportation systems and rapid
transit systems are nerves of economic
developments for any nation.
All developed nations have a well developed
transportation system with efficient traffic
control on road, rail and air.
It is therefore utmost necessary to have a
fast, economical and efficient traffic control
system for national development.
The monitoring and control of city traffic is
becoming a major problem in many
countries.
With the ever increasing number of vehicles
on the road, the Traffic Monitoring Authority
has to find new methods of overcoming such
a problem.
One way to improve traffic flow and safety of
the current transportation system is to apply
automation and intelligent control methods to
roadside infrastructure and vehicles.
PROBLEMS OF CONVENTIONAL
TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLER
Heavy Traffic Jams
The main effect of Heavy traffic congestion
matter is increased time wasting of the people
on the road.
The solution for this problem is by developing
the program which different setting delays for
different junctions.
The delay for junctions that have high volume of
traffic should be setting longer than the delay
for the junction that has low of traffic.
PROBLEMS OF CONVENTIONAL
TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLER
No traffic, but still need to wait
At certain junctions, sometimes even if
there is no traffic, people have to wait.
Because the traffic light remains red for the
preset time period, the road users should
wait until the light turn to green.
The solution of this problem is by
developing a system which detects traffic
flow on each road and set timings of signals
accordingly.
PROBLEMS OF CONVENTIONAL
TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLER
Emergency car stuck in traffic jam
during traffic jam, the emergency vehicle,
such as ambulance, fire brigade and police
will be stuck especially at the traffic light
junction.
This is very critical problem because it can
cause the emergency case become
complicated and involving life.
PROBLEMS OF CONVENTIONAL
TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROLLER
Lack of Traffic Information to users
Present traffic systems fail to provide traffic
information including congested roads and
alternate routes available in case of
congestion.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In the proposed Intelligent Traffic Light
Controller (ITLC) all these limitations of existing
controller are eliminated. The proposed system
of ‘Intelligent Traffic Light Controller’ uses
Embedded system (microcontroller 89C51)
and has advantages of efficient control.
GSM Interface to mobile phones and fast
response time.
The problem of fixed timing traffic light is
totally eliminated in this system.
OBJECTIVE
The main objective for this module is to design a
program and implement hardware of intelligent traffic
light system suitable for real life implementations. In
this module,
The traffic jam will be reduced by increasing the green
signal time on busy road and decrease the red signal
time in non busy road.
The information about congestion on road or possible
alternate routes can also be informed to car drivers on
demand on his/her GSM mobile phone.
Infra Red –Light Emitting Diode (IRLED) transmitter
and receivers are used to measure the traffic flow.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
FUZZY LOGIC BASED
CONTROLLER
The fuzzy logic based controller for a single
junction, that should mimic human intelligence.
The order of states is predetermined, but the
controller can skip a state if there is no traffic in
a certain direction. The amount of arriving and
waiting vehicles are quantized into fuzzy
variables.
In experiments the fuzzy logic controller showed
to be more flexible than fixed controllers and
vehicle actuated controllers, allowing traffic to
flow more smoothly, and reducing waiting time.

PROPOSED MODULE
CONCLUSION
Introduces the design of a very efficient Intelligent
traffic light controller based on fuzzy logic controller.
The proposed Intelligent Traffic Light Controller is
more efficient than the conventional controller in
respect of less waiting time, more distance traveled
by average vehicles and efficient operation during
emergency mode and GSM interface.
The proposed system has simple architecture, fast
response time, user friendliness and scope for
further expansion.
