 AIM

A project using an Arduino and some LEDs

to replicate a traffic light. It uses code as an
internal timer and continues to run until you
cut the Arduino's power supply.

 OBJECTIVES
In 1997, the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions
(DETR), together with the Traffic Director for London, launched the Urban
Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) initiative. This paper presents the
Policy-sensitive traffic signal control project, which began in March 1997
and was conducted in this context. The project's overall objective was to
develop a traffic signal controller, which can be sensitive to changing traffic
management policy, and aim to achieve a wide range of transport and
environmental objectives in addition to minimisation of vehicle delays and
stops. Its specific objectives were to: (1) apply the Delphi study method to
seek expert consensus on the objectives of traffic signal control; (2)
develop a prototype fuzzy logic traffic signal controller with four specified
features; (3) optimise the controller's membership functions and/or
rulebases, using a simulated road network in Newcastle; and (4) evaluate
the controller's performance by simulation and test it against SCOOT. The
paper concentrates on describing the results of the Delphi study, which
used two questionnaires; although this study found no expert consensus, it
emphasised that flexibility is one of the most important features of a traffic
signal control strategy.

 ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a
low cost system intended in terms of hardware and
software, to make a street traffic light for cars. This
system will be built using the Arduino Uno development
platform, and programming will be done using the
LabVIEW graphical programming. Hardware resources
that will be used in the paper are: Arduino Uno, a red,
yellow and green LED, a breadboard, 3 x suitable
resistors for the LEDs you have and connecting wires.
The results will be displayed through the serial interface
on the computer in the LabVIEW program, and also on
the three LEDs on the breadboard.

 INTRODUCTION
Traffic lights are a part of our daily routine and we pass by them from
the point we’re rushing for our offices in the morning to the time
when we eagerly want to reach home.These devices are installed
wherever one can find a reasonable amount of traffic. The main
function of the lights is to control the traffic efficiently and they
typically constitute of timers, sensors and traffic monitoring systems.
We will build a traffic light with the help of an Arduino. This exercise
will not only make you understand the basics of how an Arduino
works, but will also provide you a guideline to solve similar complex
problems, while meeting certain specifications. Furthermore, you’ll
get the basic know how about how a traffic light functions.
The traffic lights will provide instructions to the users (drivers and
pedestrians) by displaying lights of standard color. The three colors
used in traffic lights are Red, Yellow and Green
